Bengoshia, I'm thinking these should display at 2x or 3x.

Ah, well good idea then didn't notice that you said that before, I think since not alot of detail can be put into everything, make a good looking background to make everything else come together or at least not make it just one color for the BG, add some more detail to the water if possible.

I think the backgrounds need a lot more work...

Agreed. I have stuff planned, but mostly I want to get the basic animation down right now.
