Very nice !
Cool graphics and animations  :clap:

My only complain is with that font, which is hard to read for me  :)

Ok, I read the whole scroller and feel kinda dizzy now (and my monitor seems to be moving :o) . What can I say. Very nice indeed! And a huge thanks for the greetings! That's the first time ever for me to be greeted in some release!  :kewl: And boy, that's a lotta bats, somebody call the vermin exterminator! It's urgent!  :D
I have something in the making too, I hope it will be finished in time (I hate work, whoever invented it shall be hanged...  :whack:)...
Well done dude!  :clap:

Nice entry and it feels plenty spooky. It really makes me want to try and find time to get something done as well. If only I had a good idea for something, then I might be able to fit in some time this weekend.

I really love this piece. The artwork is just great. It is not overloaded with
flashing effects but it creates a great atmosphere. Music is very well chosen
by the way.

Finally, the scroller is a must read. Totally fit in there and was really cool to
read.

All I can say is very well done!

I love silhouettes! And spooky castles! So awesome, yet so simple. I love the bats moving around by the moon, and all the lights/eyes peering back at me; far too cool. The mention in the credits just put the icing on the cake.

I'm in the halloween mood now. My favorite time of the year!

Cool effects. Thank you for the mention in the scroller too. It was more than just a mention in a list, but then I'm not that creative.

Bit late to comment perhaps, but not been here in ages.

Nicely done. :clap: Good atmosphere and nice touches.  Love all the bats - in the foreground and background.

No, I haven't done any coding in ages.  But right back into it with an ambitious project that I'm loving.  I'm writing my own language.  I have a worklog at www.blitzmonkeys.com
