So I'm trying to make a sort of power station kind of area for a platformer I'm working on, but I don't like what I've done and can't seem to get anything right.
I sort of imagined it being pretty bright with a lot of animations and all that, but I can't get anything I like. It just looks too... Grey. If you get what I mean. If anyone could give me some advice on things I should do to make this thing look better, that would be great. Thanks.
(Really sorry about not sending just the pixel art! I'm kinda busy right now, so I don't have time to cut out just the pictures of the 2 rooms, also, the yellow on the "pipes" is usually a lot brighter, it glows from a darker yellow to a lighter yellow and the default tile for it is just the darker one.)
PS: The game has a pretty lighthearted and not too serious tone to it, which is the reason I need it like this anyway, so keep that in mind if you come up with anything.
PPS: I still need to add backgrounds, which is the reason it's completely black. If anyone has any ideas for that, that'd be great aswell!
