The draw order was a headache (the obstacles were not hidden by the tunnel), at the end I draw all of them (tunnel + obstacles) as the same object, it solves a lot of things x)
The first time I ran this version on real hardware, the framerate was low (below 20fps), I've implemented sort of a LOD system for the tunnel and now I stay around 30fps, I think it will be my target (although the playdate can go up to 50)

"Filling the natural breaks in my day with an old video game has done me the world of good, even if it’s evolving my Psyduck while dinner is in the oven. My phone’s screen time is down by three hours a week since beginning this. In a small way, it’s helping me to stop comparing myself with others and begin to tackle some existential dread that doomscrolling seems to encourage."

100% this. A positive change, for sure.
