Performance on my M2 Max is pretty poor, even just in the tutorial levels. I wonder if it's a Rosetta build...? Playable on Medium-High or so but laggy on higher settings right off the bat.
(On the other hand, it also launched on GeForce Now, and is silky-smooth there.)
It is, I tried to raise it up on Steam support forum, hopefully they'll address this. Especially since they showed the game a few times running on M1+ macs, I definitely was surprised.

On my M1 Ultra I found reducing to the "Low" preset worked great and lets me play at 60 FPS/5K resolution. It still looks fine. Just avoid Minimal which is visually jarring (no shaders and extreme contrasts/bad readability).
I'm just grateful the devs also put it on GFN on launch day, where it's playable at 120 fps at ultra settings.
Think I still prefer the simpler 2D graphics of the first game, though... it was charming :)
