  • ")*(&)(*^%*%^$"

    Like the title of my review - The plugin is okay, but as always description sucks a lot - users can't even imagine what and how this plugin will do. Please - in the future think about making "less magic more sense" descriptions.

  • Awesome look and feel

    It's a bit busy, so would need to use it sparingly, but wow, that's a pretty impressive set of fluid movements. PolyWogg

  • Very good, but extremely resource hungry

    It works perfectly, but at least for me it requires a lot of resources. On a page that I had a Cover block with a video background, the video became choppy, as well as scrolling up and down the page with a mouse scroll. If the performance issues get fixed this would be a 5 star plugin, and I would use it religiously, as I have not seen anything like it !
