Anybody interested to code this on iPhone ? ;) Let me know via email.

It is true that I am not original author of this picture. It was crafted thousands years ago by "HIM", son of everburning lemon ice tea and Megalolord of our Purple Masters from dark planes of Malevus Counterfeyi ! Hail to our Purple Masters !!

Ow this really got me. The colors, the lighting ..

I never been very much compelled to comment an exellent pixelarts.
Since what else you can say each time then "perfect". :)

Most of the time I don't.
For CSP I have been theyr fulltime employee.
For the rest (majority) I gathered a certain fame (publishing on web galleries, advertising my services on art themed websites, having company web with portfolio etc) so the customers keep comming, asking me to do the job for them.

not if played in fullscreen

Not sure what you mean.

Anoniguy - and I weasnt sure anybody really seen the book :)

Adarias - it was done 9 years back so theres a slight chance I may be albe to pixel it better now. ;)
Its here only for nostalgic reasons though so I might not plan any redos ;)

Stylish!
(May I steal the palette ? oops ..already done ;)

Amazing works.
I wouldt even try it because it would take me weeks.

I hate you! Why, why are you better then me ?!!! ;) :)

Peach - its story now added to description ;)

I overaly like it but theres a lot that can be improved here.

1. It overaly uses too many colors on small place - making it to look blurred. Mainly seen on the left part.
Also the left part is shaded wrongly. Its shaded as tubes, while the right part is shaded as flat shape.

2. Its really rough. Needs to get more neat. Adding AA, refining the outline.

Found this after the challenge.
I dont understand why this isnt in first 3 places.

This one is sooo good!
I would not change a thing.
Obviously best of your pixelarts.

It puzzles me.
The characters are quite well pixelled. Actually too well for the rest of image thats few levels worse.
They look like they are stolen from various existing games. I just hope they are not stolen directly.

So the problem of the image is that its inconsistent. Both story-wise and style-wise.

(What does the strange Oddworld character do there ?)

And the style (shape) of logo is definetly the worst part.

Might sound weird but when I looked at it I had a flashback of Flashback. So strong nostalgia feeling. Almost shed a tear ;)
Thank you for creating this piece!

It seems I have missed a lot in the years I wasnt on pixel ation\joint

Sorry for crits only but ...
The shading around eyes is wrong. Eyes should be more inside, now they are shaded so they look to come out of the head.
The black outlines inside the head (nose ..) I would remove or replace with lighter outline ('selective outlining').

Generaly: You should not draw 'head', but shape that represents head.

The dithering is totaly ruining the feel of metal. I would remove it.
Also it could use some AA and maybe more black-white contrast.
Not it looks a bit washed-our for me.

I really like the idea.
(but he shouldn't have his legs in the water maybe ? :)

Very nice. Both the character stylisation and animation.

It could have used more shades for each color.
Also the dithering can be improved.
The hilite on visor is wrong. Shape of visor I guess should be cylindrical and the shine should reflect that. Now it looks like the visor is flat square. if you know what I mean.

Still cool piece.

Stickman - You are right with Mirrors Edge, but for GameBoy I was imagining something much older grade. On level of doom or Heretic, max.

Wonderful work. But don't you have a little too many unfinished retro game projects at once ? :)
