the second animation could be more smooth because it looks like the box stays in the air for too long.  You could also have the head stay in its place while the box falls, then when the box touches the ground, the head would snap down; would give the second animation a cool personality. :D

I'm no expert to pixel art so this is just a personal opinion.
The second animation where it's head is bobbing back and forward, perhaps make it a little less violent and slow it down a bit. At the moment it doesn't look like its rocking back and forth on a spring, but it looks like someone is punching it from behind or something.

So maybe slow the animation down, and make it bounce backwards aswell, since in reality it wouldn't spring forward and then go straight back to its starting position before springing back out again.

Lol, cool character.

With what everyone else has said. I think you should simply tilt the box one frame more and when he falls back tilt it back a little and perhaps make him lean back a bit longer. Should make it look smoothar.

The jumping animation has no build up to his release. I'd make his neck scrunch together and then quickly release and maybe while in the air, make it squish again like the box is putting some pressure on from below to get more height, and then fall back down.

looking better.  But on the newest one, when he first jumps up his head should move a little to the right instead of standing centered.

I kinda like the original jump animation!

I would like to see an animation with his head swinging front to back, and each time his hit smacks the floor.  

It looked a bit squared:


I don't know if this is a good update or a bad one.

Sprite sheet for a damage animation...

I made the frame where his head is back 15 s, rather then every frame being 10 s.
It looked smoother this way.

Oh, and once again I did this using the sh*tty gif animator we have at school.
My laptop is still down for the count.

Yes.

and shouldent the can of cola be a side view?

Yeah... I was going to attempt that.
I just got lazy and rotated it.

Yeah your most definitly right Brian.
I've just been restricted to using school computers.
So I have a time limit on finishing a peice of work...

I've basically been rushing through all of these.

I think your animation would look sweet if you were able to add some squashing and stretching to the jump sequence.  I have never done that in 2d so it might be too much of a pain to bother with? Regardless, it would look hot.  Other then that I think the character design is great!  Keep it up.

Thank you Monkey.
That's the first time anyone has actually loved anything I've drawn. :] <3

If you'd like!

Oh, I came up with a pretty sweet idea for the game.
BAsically he hops at the begging of the game, untill some elder dude or something tells him about his capabilities.

His box can transform into many things.
A tank, a plane, a boat, and a submarine.
That's all I have thought about as far.

I also came up with a few level ideas.

The Bedroom (Normal Mode) - Child toys and bugs. (Tutorial type level)
Under the Bed (Tank Mode) - Dirty city of Dust Bunnies. (Boss = Slugly)
Through the Hall (Plane Mode) - Flying bugs, some dust bunnies in planes. (Un-decided)
The Bathroom (Normal Mode) - Un-decided for the type of enemies. (No boss)
The Tub (Boat Mode) - Like a sea with other ships. (Boss = Rubber Ducky)
Under the Water (Sub Mode) - Fish and other sea creatures. (Boss = Squid thingy)

That's all I've thought about as far...
I drew up some concepts in my sketchbook last night.
I'll attempt to pixel some sketches in the next two periods.

Edited by Souly

Oh of course, I was going to do a whole tranformation animation for each mode.

Edited by Souly

Could you make the crappy animations into side-by-side frames? I can put both anims and side-by-sides in the game, so I just want it all to look good.

Problem is I have no laptop at the moment.|
So at the moment, I have to use Microsoft Gif Animator.

And it does absolutly nothing for quality of animations.
But yes, one of the reasons I did all the rest with frames and not that one.
Is because I ran out of time.

Yeah, I have some ideas for the new levels I thought of.


I'll probably just end up revamping and making a much better boss sprite.

Yeey! Now finish.

Oh wow, LOVE TO MoD <33333
Alright so I definitly need my laptop back online so I can do my part of this whole thing.

Hmm, it's weird.
When I hold down and charge to anything less then half the bar.
The spring goes glitchy and he doesn't jump.|

I'm making it so when you attack instead of using his head, a boxing glove will come flying out of his star and spring back into his box.

I'm going to try and draw up some tile ideas on my desktop tonight.
Hopfully I can get my internet to start working. :]
