If you want to create a game for phone, it is best not to include effects, and if it does include the option to disable them.
I create very large games with construct 3, and I'm not having performance issues.
It is true that some non-snapdragon processors have problems.
This is a video of the game that I am working on now, in snapdragon it is perfect, in Helio it has FPS drops, but it can be played.
