PNG decoding seems to be fast enough: tree1 - PEP = 0.412 ms PNG = 0.25 ms font - PEP = 0.602 ms PNG = 0.663 ms nz_scene - PEP = 32.121 ms PNG = 3.069 ms Anyway, PEP is interesting!

It's a lossless format optimized for file size rather than decompression speed; the README seems clear enough. Made by a pixel art game dev, for compressing sprites in pixel art games, so I assume it fits a useful niche.

I don't see any hassle, really. It's just another image format: good for some use cases, bad for others. No one file format is perfect. It was interesting enough for me to give it a couple of hours to implement a cli and add support to my pixel app.
