I think its hard to explain, and it would make more sense if it wasnt <<RWD, but oh well, I like to do things the hard way

"Visually compelling"

date: February 7, 2010

It's a real treat to watch an animation in which all of the author's talents come together in order to form something you can be excited about, even if only for a few minutes. Smooth animation, original storytelling and simple, yet sufficient artwork are present throughout the flash, and it all flows near perfectly with the music.

I find it amusing that those reviewers who found the backwards playback to be an unnecessary complication and accounted it for author's desire to feel 'smarter' and 'superior' are overcomplicating things themselves by introducing a backstory to something that is just another known way of presentation. Moreover, it was very well executed, as pieces of the story were introduced to us along the way, taking the specific nature of the flash into account.

A 'normal' playback button at the end of the flash might have been a good way of satisfying viewers' curiosity, but apart from that it would serve no further purpose. It was a beautiful trip of outstanding quality, and that alone deserves a solid 10.

"Really original"

date: February 6, 2010

I´ve never seen such a long animation played backwards and still make sense. Regardless of the confussion it might cause you can still understand some of the story which is going on, it impresses me how you managed to do this.

"Third one"

date: February 5, 2010

Third flash submission i have ever given a 10/10 to, I don't hand them out lightly.

Excellent work. The animation is the only thing that let me down slightly, when compared to other flash submissions the animation is a little disappointing. Just dot get me wrong, it deserves 10/10.

Amazing piece of work.

"Amazing"

date: February 3, 2010

Not just because of the animation(which is awesome), but also how you deployed it with the music so perfectly. Seeing the world go by backwards, can be just as interesting as going forward.

Oh yeah, what is the song? I can't find it and its way too catchy.

"Stunning"

date: January 16, 2010

An amazing piece of work. I like the parallel of how the gravitaxis effect reverses the center of gravity and the animation also is in reverse. This gives it a more powerful viewing.
