Good job
It's one thing to make a well animated sprite movie but it is another to make a well animated sprite movie that captures the watcher's interest and has them awaiting the sequal.
The perfect balance of action and plot, this wasn't just another random, slow pased sprite battle, it felt like a metal slug movie, not a movie with metal slug sprites.
The talking was good, as was the use of sprites in original ways.
You've made a very good movie here, well done you.
