Atmosphere!
I don't think people realise how hard it is to build up an atmosphere with such a limited colour scheme and animation. Well done man, you deserve more.
Reviews for "The West"

Thank you mister Boogley. Your the kindest person i know :D
And ye, i was hoping to get a higher score but i guess newgrounds isnt really the place for animations like this. Oh well.
I read about the collab your starting. i'd love to get in on it :)
good, but...
...the action stayed at a similar pace throughout, along with the music. There was never any suspense, just slow action. The characters werent likable either, in any way, which should be worked on. You placed the animation in the west as a setting, but it had nearly nothing similar between this and the real setting. You have some scenery that was familiar, but the bar was near empty, the streets were excessively barren, and nothing was distinct. Keep trying, you have potential.
Very Interesting
I enjoyed seeing a different style and this was a well told story of "the west". The last 'rewind' scene felt a bit slow comparatively, I would have preferred a little more engaging sequence (subtraction of frames, speeding it up a little) [when scenes operate fast the viewer feels less 'safe & secure'] BUT it built up anticipation for the closure(only after I had seen it)- which I loved.
This was refreshing watching animated illustrations. There is also room for polishing as well. Looking forward for more.
Excellent sense of style
This was great, very well put together, it really draws the audience in.
