when i get some more time, ill see if there is anything i can do to help make things clearer without conflicting with the intended look. the use of lines is a good suggestion, maybe not in the alignment of the tiles but maybe i can experiment with th euse of lines within the details of the tiles.. that sounds like it might help other's concerns

Alex also perhaps a simple visual cue: where the plater can stand, the top of the tile has a brighter single pixel line!

little update, still only 2 background palettes.

There are no ugly colours, only ugly combinations of colours.

Mockup for Dinamite Man stage.



Ptoing's micro-mega-man is very nice!

I was always under the impression that NES worked with 16x16 tiles and could only use 3 colours for the entire character sprite. I am pretty sure I have to many colours in this though, I'm trying to figure out how to fix it. Heres what I have so far.

Thanks a lot, ptoing. I learned much from your edit. I used 2 palette-rows for this so far. Not sure about the dithered gradients (old vs. new), tho...



This vucking color management ensures headache. I set my photoshop (pixeling on MacBook) to "no color management". Now, I hope you can see the colors like I do.

Finished my first mockup. I'm going to do three more, including the boss one.

All of yours mockups look great!

Looks like you are going for parallax layers. That would not be possible like you did it on the NES.

It's not really parallax, there's just a pillar behind the other in front, but it's not meant to cicle in diferent speed.

What I meant is the red beehive thing. They are not restricted to 8x8 tileborders, so you have too many colours in a few tiles.
