this is all the ways i know to do (scaleable, tiled) pyramid structures for a topdown game. Are there any good ones that I'm missing?

I don't have any advice for you, but I just wanted to say that I really like the colors you chose. It gives it a really weird, retro vibe.

there's something wonderful about single tiles.  if you strip out the shading and texture, I think the best singletiles tend to have pretty simple structures. The more complexity added to the pattern itself, the harder it is to pull off.

these are bit-for-bit the same tiles, just shifted half a tile horizontally.
how the tile lines up with other parts of the image can sometimes drastically change the way it's percieved, even though the pattern itself is the same.
