I have a project running strictly in object oriented C++, and have not had
any problems that are really worth mentioning. The reason I chose C++ is
that I was porting existing C++ code from a PC prototype. Aside from
having to shoehorn the game into the much smaller memory space, it has been
an easy port so far. Your mileage may vary of course.

What problems have people been running into with C++? Why would time
constraints lead you to use C? Wouldn't C++ help you work faster?
