  Thats actually a little scary. Hope you don't use 360 frames.

  You don't especially need a plug to accomplish that.

  The biggest hurdle is knowing what you want to do beforehand, for sub-menu's etc.

  Was 25-30 fps on my desktop, and 5 on my Ipad3.

  Removed Canvas, Ipad went up to 10, desktop remained about the same.

  I should say I didn't have Somebody's shaders installed.

  You can use conditionals, but the expression usually comes out fine math wise.

  The work around now would be to use a global variable.

  Like if globalvariable = 1 pick all these types, =2 all these other types.

  It might be time to add another category to the plugs, that being if it works with webgl.

  What if that object was an array?

  5% quarterly for anything over 3k per game.

  Thats not bad.

  Should put some heat on Unity.

  Add up how many bites in folder, double that for the approximate uncompressed memory.

  It depends on the hardware, and how much memory your sprites use.

  How about the old CC shaders Blurmask?

  Its basically a blur using a mask like a heightmap.

  Works great for tilt shift.

  You shouldn't need to upscale everything, but to keep the blocky look you will need to for the background parts.

  I've made a star field of 500 to 1000 instances placed randomly on 10 layers with parallax set at 10% ascending.

  Decent frame rates, but an asteroid field might need to be managed differently, depending on their size.

  I might suggest a room based approach if they are fairly large.

  A lot of big textures handles worse than alot of small textures.

  So, no its not the actual size, and the images are "interpolated" by the browser which is the root of the issue, IE a pixel at this position may be interpolated differently at this other position.

  Your solution is to upscale the textures to the wanted size, and then import them.
