any crits or thoughts? i feel like i'm having trouble organizing the colors correctly, especially between the cliffside and the grass surrounding it. i'm not quite sure how to proceed with that discomfort, or if its even necessarily validated.

I like the colors! But the left side of the 2. image looks off (the tiles seem very easy to see)

Super cool mood and colors.
Yet it feels a little bleach out and hard to read.
I feel like you need some lower values to add more contrasts.

You really nailed those happy little colors.
I like that it feels like you used a brush to paint those pixels, they're more shape oriented rather than 'specifically placed'.

I don't know if it might help, but here is a quick color grading.
