First pixels in months. That challenge was just too good to miss.

Any reminder of this subspecies of CAT may not be by pure chance.

I tried to make a parallax bg, but it was too distracting. A shame, because of the time it took to make.

15 frames. Colors not guaranteed, because of f***g macbook monitor. May be too slow for Chrome users, sorry. Also, 10k preview fail.

Update: colors checked and fixed. Not that bad really, only the bg and helmet yellow were too close: brightened bg.

Thanks a lot guys'n gals! <3

It's a pain that colors suck, I really can't control them on the crappy monitor, and it's not the first time either. Nothing I can do about it until I get home - and then I won't have much time for pixels.

I also agree rocks would have made a cool scrolling bg, too bad I didn't think about it.

The animation of the tracks is... mesmerizing. Cool concept, great execution.

what a lovely animation.  Personally, I like the subdued colours, but I figure ptoing and cure know what they're talking about moreso than I do. : P

This has to be one of the best ideas for this challenge :D Nice work!

Nice animation. I agree with what ptoing said. Without rockson the ground, the cat seems to jump witjout reason.

yeah, scrolling rocks would be useful (and rocks flung by the tread would be cool). Agree that the piece overall feels rather light, still a winner though.

This is my fave so far, content wise, but I feel that the colours could be better, there could be more contrast to the bg.

Also you could make some stones on the ground that move by to give a better sense of movement.
