This is actually written in C++ and I compile it to a native executable during development, and yet it crawls to a stop exactly the same, so I'm afraid that that one's on me. :D (It's an inefficiency related to the breakage particles and waits patiently on a big pile of other code TODOs at the moment.) Nevertheless, I don't disagree with you on your general sentiment towards browser games, I like fast native executables as well.
