OMG. THAT WAS AWESOME!
Dude, Freaking Amazing! That was like... mindblowing! I can't say this enough. The sprites were nice and layered, it was expertly animated, great tweening, very very smooth, great timing, very nice, I expect very great things from you. (If you get flash, or if you just keep uninstalling and reinstalling flash trial)
Really though, amazing for a first time. Very amazing!
