I really REALLY like the visual style you've got going here - good colors that feel right.Here's a couple of potential suggestions for you:1. the border is currently a 4x4 tile (2 on top and 1x2 on the bottom). Think about using just one of the blocks and not the 4x4. that way the characters would be that bit more prominent. 2. And you're gonna hate me for this.I Love the graphics style, but the thing that is shouting to me is animation. What I mean is, however you are doing the graphics do another set, that are the same but different. and each frame (or 4 frames) flip between one set and the other. this would give you sort of flickering in the outlines and possibly color shifting enhancing the 'drawn' look. it would give the same effect as used in the TV show Rhubarb and Custard:I can just see all the menu text and players with that sort of look
give us a quick gif/video of the gameplay and maybe we can suggest other things?
