yeah looking good, but i think that when the main bulk of the melted jewel hits that fork in the channels of fluid, it would break the banks so to speak and just go right down the middle covering that little gap.

quick edit (i added a bg colour to make it easier for my eyes when editing, thats the extra colour)

cool. I think the main body of the jewel melts too quickly, id make it slide down the stone like a scoop of ice cream on an inclined frying pan, shrinking as it goes and leaving a wide trail. it could slow down as it reaches the letters and then with one last burst of magic or what-have-you completely melt and go into the top line

Cool man, I voted for you too. Love the title screen. Maybe add some more stuff about the story onto the greenlight page? It's called A Bastard's Tale but what's the gist of this tale? Why is our man killing everything?

also would be nice to see some more special moves like jump attacks, Lord Deimos-style home-run swings, stuff like that.

One thing though, atm I'm at 8 frames (not counting the 2 default standing frames), if I were to add in a couple more frames to exaggerator on the wobble after he is done biting, could that make an impact gameplay wise? Since there would be a small window open even after it's done biting.

it would have an impact yeah. the longer the benign part of the animation, the bigger the window for the player to counter-attack or escape is. but other things could happen to offset that if you wanted, in programming. like if the creature doesnt have to finish the full animation every time it bites, so it can cancel its own attack after a certain frame and attack again in quick succession, only finishing the full animation when youre not in a certain range of it

nice update, a few things - watch the abdomen, it doesnt really match up at the end of the animation with the standing abdomen. in my last edit i also gave the abdomen a bit of drag, so it lagged behind when he pushed forward and then catches up and deforms a bit appropriately. its this abdomen momentum petering out that then creates the bulk of the wobble effect at the end. also watch the legs, they look like theyre sometimes not rooted to the ground but a pixel or two higher. the leftmost leg for example looks almost like he has an ankle joint two pixels up it

woops! sorry, i guess i think of games when i think of pixel art. those that kasumi mentioned are pretty freaking awesome.
