The background is amazing, you get full score from me for that. HOWEVER, I really do not like the way you did the sprites. I understand Hotaru and that alt of subby must be a bitch to make, but it looks like you just roughly recoloured sprites with a thick brush. They almost look like crayola drawings. On the upside, their poses are well-chosen and the effects you used to freeze Hotarus feet makes them look perfect. The little shards of ice on the ground contrast very well with all the sweet blood in the backgrond. overall a pleasing job. 3/5
Lmao...I love the look hotaru has on his face, its like hes thinking " oh f*ck what am I going to do now?". but if he can defy gravity with that whirl kick he probably doesnt need legs
