Ok, so I have the record on 4,000,000 and I can't get 200,000.  When I buy the spring at the beginning holding down shift it doesn't upgrade it to 3 until I actually press the upgrade button.  I use Kongregate so it might be exclusive on steam but is there a way to fix this?

So I've been getting back into speedrunning this game but when I watched the number 1 speedrun for 200k I saw that the spring almost immediately shot the penguin up.  Whenever I try to speedrun the game, the screen shakes a bunch and doesn't do anything for like 0.4 seconds then slowly shoots off and this makes me lose like  half a second or more every time I get shot off the spring.  Is there like an option I am missing or is my game just broken.
