Me a year ago: "yeah I know opengl drivers are buggy but this is just a 2D game engine, it's not going to do anything fancy at all. Shouldn't be an issue."

Me now: "I need to make a FAQ dedicated purely to graphics driver bugs we find."

@dasyatidprime Android, in fact, is the tentative goal for next year. Along with iOS and (primarily) wasm.
