I wasn’t expecting anyone to do the whole sheet, but I appreciate it!

It is very annoying to work with other peoples made character and animate them….

I personally was planning to do the whole sprite set on my own, and I expect more people were planning too. If you take a bit of the one sheet and a bit of the other, you will get a big mess of non complimenting cheap images….

If you want a nice look in one feel, you have to have 1 guy on the job. Or at least split it.. Like someone entering all the BG images, some guy entering all the character animations, etc….
But don’t just take whatever random image you like best and put them all together..

Also, to the competitors: Watch that size limit! Those large images look cool when large, but when shrunken to 30×30 (strange size, why not 32×32?) they look terrible!!!!

You will hear from me soon, I have a week vacation and planned to spend it on this sprite sheet!

Feb. 5: I think Avalanche is a perfect fit. It’s simple to the point of being straightforward, but actually dodging all of the steel balls as the player goes back and forth is a nice, small challenge that changes every time thanks to the random nature of the teleporters.

Feb 6: I don’t really like Blue Ball. The player is immediately in danger as a steel ball rolls through a complex series of switches…it’s really too much because the player has no time to react.

Cavern, Rock Maze, and The Run mostly involve collecting gems away from localized, even boring enemy placement, so I don’t like those too much either. Out of Gas is alright, but there’s no variation between the three teleporter segments. The only level in this set I like is The Shrine, but I think another half fuel tank might make it more manageable for most players, and having more than one homer in a level seems redundant to me, unless there’s no room to maneuver them into one.

I’m planning on submitting a few levels as well. In the meantime, I’ll try to go through the other submissions…

Saga Musix’s Step into the Cave has a nice beat, but the buzzing bass-like instrument is only played on the right side of my stereo headphones. Makes it somewhat unpleasant to listen to. Different instruments are played on different sides in the flash player, too. Dunno if this is some limitation of the MOD format or what.

Bass sounds incomplete. I know it’s supposed to be a background tune, but it sounds like it’s missing a layer even so. Also, it only plays on one side of my headphones in your flash player. It sounds OK in Totem.

Icy is good, but it suffers from the instrument split in the flash player again.
