I played iim and it looks like it's scrolling at 25 fps, but the preview videos for iio are clearly scrolling at the full 50 fps. Is this some new scrolling tech in iio?

Both games use the same tecnique and are made to run at 50 fps without ever dropping a frame. What do you see, exactly? Is the screen refresh less fluid or is the game slower altogether? Maybe something's wrong with your equipment (settings)? Hopefully we can solve the issue.

Ah I found my mistake! I am playing on Vice and I had it set to NTSC, which seems to get 30 fps. When I switch to PAL I get the full 50 fps! Thanks for creating such a cheerful, if difficult, game :D

Congratulations on solving the issue!
(I had suspected that it might be NTSC, hence my question about the game being slower.)

Yes, the game is indeed difficult, but that's mostly because it's a single level (zone, in the game's terminology) as it had to fit in 16 kB. QUOD INIT EXIT IIo will have 5 zones of increasing difficulty.

Enjoy!
