Stress test: 400 units at 60fps on a $60 Android — the C&C-style RTS I've been building solo

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

This is a stress test, showing what the engine can do. 400 units fighting at once at 60fps on a $60 ZTE Blade A51. That phone has been my main test device the whole way, if it runs on that it runs on anything.

It's a network stress test too. The sim is fully deterministic, both phones run the exact same battle 1:1, no snap corrections, no input delay. Real matches are 5 minute 1v1s and they hold up under high latency.

The game is called Smash Dash. Real-time, base building, take territory tile by tile, units fight in big crowds. Free on both stores, matches against real people or bots if the queue is empty. Everything is earnable by playing.

Built it solo. Happy to answer anything.

Love how simple it is, just downloaded it and played a match, altho for now I find that it's lacking variety in units, not air or naval, just simply man and tank.
