Re-emergence of pixel art on the iPhone?

[LoTekK]

Of the games currently on my iPhone, Critter Crunch probably stands out the most as far as pixel art is concerned. The backgrounds look like a combination of pixel and NPA techniques, while the sprites and UI are all lovingly pixeled and animated.



Of course, there's also Adam Atomic's Canabalt.

Yeah, I was mainly just addressing the background art.

...,but I think it's fair to say that it's excellent quality for a current-gen pixel art game.

So I must assume there is a difference in quality between current gen PA and stuff that was drawn 15 years ago. I´m just curious,
as I think we should judge the art regardless when it was created.

Hi... Is there a place here where I can get a mercenary job?

I somehow find that question a bit amusing, coming from the light dressed lady.

She puts the "ass" in "assassin."

Word is, for female the logic of armor is opposite as it is for males -- The less it covers, the more it protects.

I want the 'thank' feature added so I can thank this

Anyways, yeah. I've seen some nice pixel art in the iTouch/iPhone games I've played.

I particularly liked 'Skullpogo' by ChevyRay and his team. And not just because he's a bud of mine, haha. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RElL1PrlXXM)

Pixel art games are always more fun for me to play because I can appreciate the dedication put towards the graphics and the artistic direction of the creators. It's a different experience playing something in a media that I'm not too familiar with, if you understand.

I hope to see pixel art games increase in the future; and with the emergence of so many eager indie devs, I think we'll be fine!

Thanks for letting me know that the game was out, but you posted in the wrong thread. That game is absolutely banned from being mentioned in here!
