Poor performance on Android (2D)

Question

When testing my game on Android (which it is intended for), I noticed it did not run very smootly. I added fps display and noticed, that on Android it runs at about 35-40 fps while in editor it runs smoothly at 60. I also checked that there was no memory/CPU.

My game is in 2D and uses GLES2. I went over my scripts and there are not any complicated actions in physicsprocess() functions (only changes of positions etc.). Also my game does not use many objects - maximum around 15 at a time.

I searched for similar problems, but cannot find any solutions. Hopefully someone will help me here, thank you.

aren't your textures too big?

The only big one is the texture I use for background, it is 1080x7680 px, which is used for scrolling. All others are not that big.

I also experience had a similar issue, but I found out that it's usually caused by high CPU temperature when installing a new game, or light2D which is a notorious performance hog

Maybe try to cool down your phone and test your game afterward, or check for expensive loops in physics process

Thank you for the reply. I used a little bit of Light2D, but I need to use it. The performance issues really annoyed me so I rewrote the project in Unity already.
