Thanks for the feedback!
PypeBros, I see what you mean about the red line. I think it was supposed to be a shadow, but doesn't really make sense or add anything. I'm not sure I can change the colours of the legs really as I'm out of colours, and they're hard to make-out individually in the game due to them running at double speed relative to the arms. It's a weird run cycle to capture!
Atnas, you're right that this stil needs a fair amount of work. The dither into black is tricky though, because LostWinds on Wii has that fade to black look on it too. I should probably silhouette things in the background more clearly though, and keep things more detailed up close. The weird stacks of rocks with large rocks on top looks a bit strange too... though I ought to at least make mine balance
This is the sort of area I was trying for:
