60 FPS and 120+ FPS | Extremely high FPS (in the high hundreds) significantly reduces jumping height and may make certain sections (such as climbing the rope net in the first level) impossible to progress past. Turning on Vsync should prevent this. | ||
High dynamic range display (HDR) | See the glossary page for potential alternatives. |
