I checked out a few youtube videos like this one[1]. Now I'm wondering whether the lack of smoothness was actually jank or just the choice to animate at a low frame rate. The animation looks bad but generally uniform in its timing. So I'm guessing whoever coded that just assumed their method of animation was so klunky that they went ahead and set the delay interval to a large value. It might have helped to use a retro-style step animation, like filling up a cup a quarter at a time where each 1/4 cup is a lighter shade of the same color.
