haha, thanks....
I didn't notice the new competition, DBP 2.0 warmup, until 3 weeks ago, but I put this together in that time based upon a simple framework engine that already existed from other XNA games I've made. I also made the assets in that time as well, based on some drawings of a friend of mine (Except for explosions and smoke, which I had already made for other games).
As for the cartoon look, it's almost identical to the technique in one of those XNA samples, but i also went for a "realistic" lighting look, which is an interesting combo.
The work I still have to do is rather substantial :(, mostly AI and balancing, so I hope my classes this week (I'm a college freshmen) won't kill me too much.
