For this animation comp, you must animate this little guy right here:

What's he shooting? Bullets, lasers, mini penguin rounds?
Who's he shooting at? Nazis, aliens, Canadians?
Who will be victorious???
Feel free to alter the sprite however you want. I used a photo for reference and made him tiny to make animation easier, but he's really basic and ugly. Hell, redraw him from scratch if you want to- just keep the basic pose.
The competition officially ends Christmas day, but I'll probably be too busy unwrapping gifts to remember, so you could probably sneak a late entry in if you felt like.
If this comp gets at least three entries, I'll make trophies (that will be much better than this crappy sprite, I promise!)

[EDIT] For those of you who can't convert PNG to GIF, I've now uploaded a GIF version. So get animating!
Its format is .png .......... :-\
Happy now?
Tsk tsk tsk, Oddysseus, how could you ::) ;)
I had some time to spare and nothing to lose :P

Well, time to wrap this contest up.
Two fine entries this time. Mirek's was very creative and he even went to the trouble of drawing a background, but I think I'll go with Ilmion, since his animation was a little more complex and I just love watching those cans bounce off that rail.
Sorry, I won't be drawing trophies since there were only entries. You both did very well, though.
Good luck hosting the next competition, Ilmion!
