The game aimed to deliver high-quality visuals with detailed environments and character animations. However, initial testing revealed performance issues on some lower-end devices, leading to frame rate drops and potential player frustration

Optimizing texture resolution : The detailed textures on candy environments and characters were resource-intensive.

Character animation Complexity : The smooth character animations added visual appeal but could strain device performance.

Level-of-Detail System: Implemented a dynamic level-of-detail (LOD) system that automatically adjusts the complexity of environments and character models based on device capabilities. Lower-end devices would see simpler versions, while high-end devices retained full detail.

Texture Compression Techniques: Employed texture compression techniques to reduce file sizes without sacrificing visual quality.

Animation Culling and Optimization: Optimized character animations by culling (removing) unseen parts and using skeletal animation techniques for smoother performance.

Performance issues on lower-end devices were significantly reduced, leading to a smoother gameplay experience for a wider audience. The game retained its visual appeal with minimal compromises thanks to the optimization techniques.

Striking a balance between visual quality and performance is crucial for mobile games.

Implementing techniques like LOD systems and texture compression allows for wider device compatibility.

Optimizing animations can improve performance without sacrificing character motion.
