i was liking the blocky-ground much better ... it was somehow more "consistent" with the robots' look (like if the whole planet had been robot-ized)

Maybe you can try a hybrid tile, with those block-style pieces, only instead of being plastic or metal or whatever they are, have 'em be like, patches of SIMPLE dirt and rocks and stuff. The "realy" dirt you have now is way too detailed. Dumb it down alot.

I agree with Xion, the new dirt tiles present way too much of a clash of styles. Simplify, but also keep the beveled corners (aside from the solid color, the razore-sharp corners were the main thing that bugged me about the original dirt tiles).

Can't think of a comment to go along with this, so, uh, here, have a present or three:

Targetting system. I'll post more info on that later.

Pipes!

Sorry, these ones are at 2X and I'm too lazy to resize them:
Oh yes naked women are beautiful

The dino skeleton is way too bright. Makes it look really really distracting.
I like the concept of the ship that destroys the tiles.

Allow me to say that these are spiffy, I would definitely play this game for the aesthetic properties. :D

I agree, the dino bones are much too bright and distracting. Maybe you could make the colors something like the pipes, but a bit darker?

Also, consider "robot skeletons" instead of dino ones.:)

The animation of the tile-destroyer should be faster, but I guess that's something that shouldn't be mentioned atm.

I don't enjoy how it's pushing the tiles instead of disintegrating them, an explosion would be better, imo.

Hope to see more. ;D
"Baboy" is Filipino for pig.

Your original simpler version of the tiles is one of the things that interested me most about the mockup.  These new tiles are WAY too overused and don't go with the style of the characters at all, IMHO.
