Really good call on the crack AA, I meant for them to feel like parts were indented but it never felt quite right so I think I just went too heavy on it.

As for the lines, they're kind of weird circuitry / wires /whatever you want to call it that has ties with the rest of the game and the tilesets.

...and the text at the bottom I've been fighting with a bit, I didn't want to go too intense with the details while having it stand out. I feel like it's important that it's easy to read and be functional for selecting, think I just bombed it out. I'm definitely going to take another shot at making it better, I may even just re-do it differently.

Also thanks so much for the feedback guys, so nice to have someone's fresh eyes take a look at it! My coding buddy and I are getting together on the weekend to work on the game in our own little jam so I should be back with some major progress and maybe more sprites to look towards making better!

No problem at all, always looking to help and that's what this forum is here for right? That said of course run with the idea, sometimes I find it's just nice to have another look at it that can spread out your ideas or create something new.

I was a bit uncertain how you wanted the robot set up as far as where he was facing, could always add depth by making a front facing "head" or something the separate out so he doesn't just look like a single mass. Also could go further with the Blaster Master style movement and have the head/turret switch sides when you point left or right.

I like 3 & 13 the most but as Ymedron said it depends a lot on the time of the day you're looking to make it. I think I prefer the color combos because they are less overbearing on the contrast from the foreground thus drawing your eyes less when you want to be focused on the foreground.

Also I really like the start you have for the new forest BG, it says so much more than the wavy lines before!

Hello everybody!
I discovered this wonderful little place over from /r/PixelArt after spending some time there and working on my pixel art and now here I am to work even harder and try to get better. I'm a graphic/web designer and I've always loved games slowly making my way to being part of gaming, writing about it, doing pixel art, and working on a couple games.

After reading some threads around here the last couple days I'm excited to get in and see what people think of my stuff, offer any suggestions that I can and hopefully grow my skills (especially in my lacking animation  ).
