It seems to work fine. But all of the animations are too busy for me. You should
think to add in simple, useful options such as just colored hovers, or very slight
scale ups. Stuff that most people would want on a menu. I’ll probably just code 
the CSS myself for this, I was hoping to find a faster solution and this plug in
could have been it… But good work! Nice job on it!
