Scrolling Game Over script.

*no longer impressed by that regular game over scene, you know the one that just shows a picture and that's it? Well check this one out...

some time ago I found an animated Game Over script by D.Lord from http://www.reinorpg.com
as time flew by... and after learning more RGSS, I took another look at the script and noticed how simple the script was so I thought I would rewrite my own version. I've included a user-friendly module for easy setup, more graphic layers, and in future versions I plan to put in some extra features like a menu for continue, restart, sounds, animations, etc... enjoy ~
