Swapping Backdrops in a Flame Endless Runner Without Tanking Frame Rate

20 unique environments sounds like an asset-loading and memory nightmare for a game that's supposed to run smooth on low-end Android devices.

The approach: How backdrops are loaded/swapped as the road scrolls — lazy loading vs. preloading, how you avoid a hitch when the environment changes, any texture/asset budget you set per scene.

Performance notes: Real frame-time numbers if you've profiled this, and what you'd do differently on a device with less headroom.
