This is a remake inspired by Metal Slug 3, recreated from scratch in Unity.
Featuring a large number of animations, exaggerated explosions, many elements on the screen, and enormous enemies. The game also has a peculiar humor that makes even the death of enemies somewhat comical.

Recreating a game with ripped assets and then charging money for it is a big kind of low.

Ah, that justifies it then. 👍

Let us know how that goes.

I faced a critical production problem involving severe performance drops and intermittent crashes during peak usage. The impact was direct on the end user: freezing interface, loss of interactions, and risk of abandoning the platform during high-traffic hours.
Problem:
Occasional crashes and sudden FPS drops after a few minutes of use.
The problem did not occur in a test environment, only in production under real load.
Symptoms pointed to memory overflow and excessive Garbage Collection.
Prioritization and approach
Immediate stabilization:
I reproduced the production scenario simulating high load locally.
I activated profilers to capture memory consumption, GC spikes, and allocations per frame.
Root cause isolation:
I identified multiple recurring allocations per frame in UI routines and animations.
Incorrect use of dynamic instantiation/destruction in critical loops.
DOTween animations being constantly recreated without reuse.
Technical Correction:
Refactored for consistent use of Object Pooling.
Eliminated unnecessary temporary allocations.
Restructured animations for tween reuse.
Adjusted update flow to reduce redundant calls.
Validation:
New profiling under simulated load.
Monitoring of production behavior after deployment.
Result:
Significant reduction in Garbage Collection spikes.
Elimination of user-perceived crashes.
Platform maintained stability during real access peaks.
