It's working in its own unique style, which I love and hope to see in full. The deliberate retro-70s/80s sci-fi with touches of Flash G, Tron and some Japanese fantasy (which also work within their budget limits but don't let that limit their imagination) can go either way in full form, but I like your dedication. It's telling that you want to use money not to upgrade the effects but to add a stop motion character. That's the kind of indie spirit I can get behind.
