Widescreen resolution

The game is made on a definition of 424x240. If you want to have a sharp and clean image, you need to multiply that definition by two each time in windowed mode. On a 1920x1080 monitor, x4 is the best choice, but since this multiplier is not available in the options, you have to set it manually.[3]
Instructions

Frame rate (FPS)

The frame rate is partially locked to the refresh rate of the monitor, regardless of V-Sync. A refresh rate of 40 or below will cap the frame rate at 40 FPS, while a refresh rate of 60 or above will cap the frame rate at 60 FPS. A refresh rate between 40 and 60 will cap the frame rate to that refresh rate (so 50 Hz locks the game to 50 FPS).
The gameplay is synced to the frame rate, and targets 60 FPS to deliver a full speed (100%) experience. This means that 40 FPS (40 Hz or below) will run the game at 66.67% speed (a 1/3 slowdown) and 50 FPS (50 Hz) at 83% speed (a 1/6 slowdown).

Issues fixed

Gameplay is slowed down

Instructions

Gamepad issues

"The game favors USB HID for gamepad input, but will fallback to XInput in some situations. Generally this would not be that bad, but it is not very smart about which USB HID input device it chooses. If you have input remapping software present, disable it... do everything you can to avoid your controller showing up in multiple different input APIs. A DualShock 4 controller natively supports USB HID, you do not need the Steam overlay or DS4Windows further confusing this poor little game."[4]
