well its definatly worth continuing!
i like the look very much

what i like:
-depth of field of foreground and background
-moon surface

just some thoughts:
-give the moon monkey more details for example a helmet, an air-breathing-device, etc
-it was already mentioned that the level is very empty. i guess u will add enemies and items in it and a nice user interface with health bar and points then it will be just perfect.
-i would add a star-background for the sky, maybe with a little earth planet, so it's clear that u are on the moon.
-maybe add a little particle effect by the feet when the monkey is walking on the moon surface and the moon-dust gets blown in the air.

...and make the jumps sllllloooowwwww and wiiiiididddddeeeee (gravity on moon is just 1/7 of the earths gravity)...

I'll just have to support the people before me. It looks great so far, and can become incredible. More detail is the first thing that strikes me as needed, but don't overdo it. Remember it is the moon we're talking about.

mabe if he went in the cave like rincewind said then it might be a little like "first men in the moon" by H. G Wels .... ther is phosphorent rivers and moodcows and other cartoony stuff that will fit in with the game feel...


@ mercuryus i think the gravity on the moon is one sixth not 1/7

I don't normally comment on people's projects (not good to show bias) but I have to say I love your style Drew.

thanks! I appreciate it! you just inspired me to work on the game tonight...

thanks to everyone for ideas and feedback!

I can't wait to see what you do with this. I love the working title. Bring those Moon Monkeys HOME Drew! There is so much room to be creative with that idea.

Cheers,
Mark
