There are some additional information I would like to share:
1. I already posted an
entry on the forums of pixeljoint.com. Pixeljoint is great but by what I've seen so far this forum here seems to be more active (i.e. more frequently visited by skilled pixel artists), so I just had to look for C&C here, too.
2. I made a small gameplay
prototype with Stencyl that is inspired by the mechanics of
Zelda - A Link to the past. That way you can analyse the animations even better. You can walk with the arrow keys and the bushes can be picked up and thrown by pressing 'A'.
Edit: By downloading the flash file to your computer and running it from there, the game will start in a better looking fullscreen mode without pixel distortion.
