FPS unlock?

FPS seems to be locked at an extremely low frequency. Feels like 30FPS and it is making me ill. Please unlock fps or explain how to.

Hi there! It was previously stated in our FAQ that 30fps works well with the pixel-art style, but we want to add to that and make sure that we're super clear about this being a technical limitation rather than solely a style choice. We currently do not have plans for 60fps or fps unlock, unfortunately.

devs?

I second this. The 30 fps is really hard to look at. I might have to refund the game if there's no unlock because I can't deal with this. It drops to 25 frequently for me too which is strange because I run most new games at 144fps.

If the game run on 60 fps will be a lot better.

I'm not sure what is going on here, but the devs are not responding to my posts about it, however they are responding to nearly every other post. I'd really like to see what they have to say about the FPS limitations. The game is almost PERFECT.. SO CLOSE TO PERFECT!! unlock the FPS or just tell us how to reconfigure it ourselves, please :D

They said even with the demo they have zero plans for 60fps and the 30fps fits the pixel style which Is a dumb excuse.

I genuinely wanna enjoy this game but It's hard to stomach, it feels like it's in slow motion and all I need is an FPS uncap or something.

As per FAQ:

Does it run at 60 FPS?
We currently do not have plans for 60 FPS. The game runs at 30 FPS, which works well with the pixel art style.

I didn't play the demo. I just kind of expect modern games to have modern amenities and options and development feedback!

Me and my partner both refunded the game because of the 30fps lock. It's a shame because it seems like such a nice game but it felt terrible to move around. If it ever does go get unlocked or even 60fps we'd get it.

I hate to say it, but you're missing out. I got used it after a while. I actually found it hard to stop playing.

I wish there were plans on 60+. Games does feel a bit jerky because of the technical choice you have made.

It's incredibly disappointing. Just adding the option to unlock the framerate would be much better of a decision.

Makes you think, how hard would it be to do this? Every game that has come out this year and last, pretty much has configurable FPS frequency rates. We all spend hundreds of dollars on fancy new monitors to take advantage of this.
