Just downloaded and played the game, nice graphics and good level design with the bad guys circling the cherries

Unfortunately it only runs at about two frames per second (no exageration ) - I'm pretty sure this is not too complicated for my PC, its a 800Mhz 512Mb Ram, 64Mb GF4 card - Maybe you saved it as a fullscreen exclusive mode rather than a windowed fullscreen mode? This is the only reason I can think of.

Other than that this is a really cool project Next I would add some music and a gameover screen. Keep up the good work!

Nevermind its still a really cool game and will probably run well on a faster PC than mine, or if you did use the fullscreen mode, it'll work better on below 500Mhz PCs but not on higher, according to one article I read.

BTW I don't think you "suck" at programming, its really cool

Sorry like I said it is toooooo slow (2 fps) on my PC so I played for around 45 mins and only got to the 2nd level WITHOUT DYING! Sorry not kidding Please go into DBPro, click the red settings tab then make sure "Windowed - Full Screen" is clicked then save it again. (If its no that it MUST b a pipeline problem...)

I honestly want to play this properly - I love the Graphics style, it reminds me a lot (graphically at least) of "Revenge of the Mutant Penguins" on the Atari Jaguar.

(I know I know "reminds you of WHAT on the Atari WHAT??" obscure reference lol)

It is the same speed for everyone...shame coz its a good game. If you animate the people in the actual coding then cut the frames in half and only do say....10-20-30 ect..instead of 5-10-15-20

I am getting about 5FPS on my GF3 Ti200 / P4 1.6Ghz / 512 RAM. Considering the graphical complexity of the scene, which is fairly low, it should run much faster. Try playing around and see if you can improve it.

lol I really think Iam going to have to wait for the next patch . The compiled version runs slower than running source code. Some odd stuff going on.

"lol I really think Iam going to have to wait for the next patch"

I think you need to play around with the source code, rather than waiting for patch 4. If it runs at 2FPS now and even if patch 4 makes the program run 10x faster, it will still only run at 20FPS.
