  You may be using Local Storage events incorrectly. I've seen this many times, when the same events that work on computer don't work on mobile, because mobile devices are slower and it takes slightly longer to process LS requests.

  Check out some tutorials on how to use Local Storage.

  I'm guessing you are using huge values for density, friction etc., because you have to apply pretty insane force and impulse (40000) to move the car. Physics engine doesn't work well with extreme values, maybe that's the reason why the results are so different at different fps.

  No, I have a mid-range laptop with integrated video, definitely not gaming.

  Can you share your latest project? Because when I set tile size to 4x4 it runs very smoothly.

  It runs at 50-60 fps on my laptop after that change.

  If it's slow on your machine, you can increase tile size, this should definitely help.

  Use Debug Mode (Shift+F4) to troubleshoot issues. You will see that too many Erase objects are created. That's because you have "Create object Erase" action inside the For loop. And it's repeated 160 times!

  Change the event like this

  Don't use "For each XY" loop.

  I see that you store items on Y axis in the array, the item name is at X=0 and the rarity is at X=1. So you can use this event:

  System For "y" from 0 to array.height-1
   AdvancedRandom add entry array.at(0, loopindex) with weight array.at(1, loopindex)

  If the tilemap has only one tile type and is invisible, then even with 1x1 px tiles the performance shouldn't be that bad. You can make 4x4 tiles.

  Use a separate object for the visible ground, and erase it by spawning round sprites above it with Destination Out blend mode.

  You can use slider values instead of "multiplier" variable to change the graph height:

  This is usually done with a tilemap. There are plenty of examples, search for "destructible terrain". Here is one:

  I suggest you post some screenshots in this thread:

  construct.net/en/forum/construct-3/your-construct-creations-9/c3-post-screenshots-youre-125575

  People there are very friendly and may give you some good advice or provide extra encouragement and motivation.

  Good luck with your game!

  It's not a solution, but a workaround - you can rotate the layer with the drawing canvas:

  I just discovered that Timeline Controller plugin allows to interpolate a value from a custom ease. So if you manually create a random/chaotic ease curve, you can display a random portion of it. Here is a demo:
