2D efficiency advantage

Hi there,

I've built a game similar to space invaders in a 3D eviroment
Since the fps rate on android still has room for improvement, I wonder if rebuilding the game on a 2D enviroment would do the trick.

Is there any data comparing those two enviroments?

Best regards

 

I mean, there is, 2D has a lot less overhead in general, but if your space invaders clone is chugging on a modern smartphone that's a job for the profiler, not scrapping and redoing much of the project.

 

Profile it. Chances are its something different to what you think.
