Are you using QueryPerformanceCounter() or GetTickCount()? I haven't had any speed-related problems using them. I prefer QueryPerformanceCounter() since GetTickCount() is too course on some people's machines to work properly on a millisecond level.
The game runs very slowly on my machine. Also, where is the readme.txt? I can't seem to get through the title menu. I've tried all the usual suspects for entry keys and can't seem to find the right one. Could be because of the speed issue though.

I second on the speed thing. I haven't downloaded the latest file (it's more than 1.44 MB so I can't bring it home from the library) but the last version I tried ran so choppily that I quit in frustration. Absolute #1 priority is speed! Also, I would like to play it in fullscreen mode. Something about windowed mode just doesn't do it for me.
Side note: I noticed that my Allegro games run much faster full-screen than in a window. Perhaps this is part of the problem?

If you are autodetecting the windowed mode and it comes up using GDI your speed will be severely decreased. I can run full screen 640x480 at ~530 fps on my current project, but windowed in GDI mode at around 100 :(
DirectX window, however, is back to ~500, so no biggie.

update:
I'm currently rewriting the engine in C++ and Allegro. I really don't know Python/PyGame well enough to get it going decently in that language and do the game justice.
BTW-> I'm hoping to get you guys a Chanegling demo to dload by the end of this month so that my avatar isn't a complete and total lie :)
