Technical Recommendations
This game uses a lot of animations and transparencies on the screen at once, and since the engine lacks real hardware acceleration, the game will get bogged down on slower computers. On a slow computer (say, less than 1.5GHz) animations will slow down and the sound will often skip.
I've included an option in the game's option menu that turns off some of the uneccessary effects which can help performance. If this doesn't resolve the problem, I'm sorry. But remember: it's just a freeware game!
