I watched the video on Youtube, and so far, it's looking... good.  Perhaps more work on the sprites (make the people sprites a bit smaller) ?

[supermalparit]

Thanks Xardov.

We decided to maintain the people sprites and make everything else bigger

You are refering to our official videos? The spanish ones with english subtitles?
