This looks pretty easy to use, and powerful too (3D?!). I'm going to try this out right now.

Would be incredible if a PyGame type community can be built, for the Rubyists out there, around this tool. Kudos to this initiative!

What's the speed like? Looks like its built on top of some opengl C code, so I imagine its alright.

Even better would be a Love2D-like platform.

Has anyone compared this to Rubygame (http://rubygame.org/)?

I haven't compared the two projects, but the rubygame project is currently in a state of "indefinite hibernation":

So it is good to have an alternative available.

What I don't see there is collisions. Without a fast collision tool, it's hard to do whole classes of games anything like efficiently. It's a little disappointing that, having written a renderer adapter with native code, there isn't collisions as well.
