Is there any way to lie to the game so it thinks I have an earlier card and doesn't disable hardware acceleration? It won't let me force the settings. There must be an .ini file somewhere.

If you're using the browser version of the game, you mustn't use Chrome or a Chrome based browser (e.g. the new Opera). Hardware acceleration only works with Internet Explorer and Firefox. (Right click => Global Configuration => Enable Hardware Acceleration)

I'm not using the browser version, I'm using the installed version.

Okay then, Incredipede is a Flash game. The installed version uses the Adobe Air runtime environment to run the Flash application. Probably this runtime doesn't recognize your graphics card properly or tries to use the wrong one, in case you have one on board and a dedicated one for example.

What you can try is replacing the runtime by a newer version.
1. Rename the folder of the old version \Incredipede\Adobe AIR\Versions\1.0 to 1.0_OLD
2. Download the current version here: http://www.adobe.com/go/getair/
3. Don't install it, but rename the AdobeAIRInstaller.exe to AdobeAIRInstaller.zip and open it (or just open it with WinRAR or 7zip).
4. Inside, look for the folder \Adobe AIR\Versions\1.0\ and extracted it into the \Incredipede\Adobe AIR\Versions\ folder to replace the renamed old version

That's all, the game now runs with the actual runtime. Tested it myself.
Lets hope it makes a better job with your graphics card.

Unfortunately I have exactly the same problem and it didn't help me on my geforce 9600m gt. Anyone have any ideas how to deal with it, it's kinda ridiculous that game is in slow motion...
PS. Im using Win 8, 64bit

Edit: turned off all in graphical options, now works fine, yet looks little bared, not as nice as before:/.

It could be, that you're unlucky and the graphics card is currently unsupported by Adobes Stage3D API which is used by Incredipede.
You can check graphics card compatibility with your Flash browser plugin (update if necessary) on this website:
http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/multi/stage3d-unsupported-chipsets-drivers-flash.html
If you've updated AIR as described above, the Flash version of AIR (\Incredipede\Adobe AIR\Versions\1.0\Resources\NPSWF32.dll) is up-to-date as well (v11.9 as of now).
If the compatibility check fails, there's not much more you can do.
GOG offers a serial key (check your game card) to play the online browser version of Incredipede on incredipede.com.
If you use any browser other than Chrome you can try to activate hardware acceleration by right-clicking the running browser application and activating it in the Flash Player settings.

I'm trying this now. It didn't work. I'll have to avoid anything that uses Adobe in the future.
I change my avatar on a fairly regular basis. This one's from Vanillicon.

According to that link, my card is supported in both baseline and constrained profile.

Ah, these Flash problems are really annoying.

The AIR environment uses some variables in this file: /Incredipede/META-INF/AIR/application.xml

Open it with any text editor and search for
<renderMode>
direct
</renderMode>

Replace direct with gpu to force rendering with the graphic processing unit and lets see what happens.

Thanks for the help, and sorry for neglecting this thread for several months. If I get frustrated with a game, I tend to move on after a few attempts and eventually uninstall it. I tried changing renderMode to gpu to no effect. Uninstall commencing.
