The 2015 indie classic is getting update 100 on December 5st. It features support for 60 & 120fps.
Gamemaker limitations back in the days meant 30fps gameplay, I couldn't stand it, too cinematic for me.

You can try the beta now and 60fps feels just right.

  2. Click "Properties..."
  3. Click "Betas"
  4. Select "openbeta_win64"
  5. Enjoy your silky smooth gaming!

Fucking finally. It's been available on the Steam beta branch for a while now, but this is a great news for the console bros.

It's not GM limitations, GM has had 60fps since forever. It's just the devs being retarded, going with the 30 default and tying the logic to that number.
 
Man, I haven't touched Nuclear Throne since 2021. Absolutely a good reason to play this again.

The 60 FPS really does make a difference, matching the fast, brutal pacing of the game. It's like Night and Day. I even killed the Captain for the first time after reaching the IDPD.
 
A bit ridiculous that the game was 30 fps for so long. There was a 60 fps mod which worked pretty well though wouldn't register achievements. Oh well, better late than never. Great game apart from that.
