A new CartoonSmart student’s game hits the App Store.

This excellent (and lengthy) piece comes from Wayne Wilson who animated it in Toon Boom Animate Pro. Hey wait, don’t have some new tutorials for Animate here. What a timely post this is =) Also this Back to the Future game can’t go unmentioned. The character designs alone make it worth a looksie.
