Darth managed to make things pretty clear while still relying on squares... mostly.

M0ds, there's nothing really difficult about what darth did.
The way he positioned cloud squares look alot better and more recognizable, "shading" withÃ,  gray lines gives better look too.

If you could move your style a bit towards the way Darth showed it, or just kidnap him and tie him up into your cellar for future bg-s, cuteness of your characters and Bg-s, would make superior harmony.

The original style is best. Colors and shading just seem to over-complicate it. I like the clean look Mods gave the background. I love the little square leaves on the tree..

I do like darth's clouds, though. They have a lot of definiton, but still fit in with Mods's style.

Oh, and the music is cute. Especially the little kitty-cat noises with the guitar  :) . One suggestion: maybe a little more vibrato on the guitar tat the beginning?

This is really interesting! Absolutely love the unique square style and those little flowers and clouds are as adorable as they can get.
Agree that it doesn't need any colors... they would only ruin this subtle atmosphere you managed to build with black and grey. Two thumbs up :)

This looks brilliant! The simplicity is so nice! I say stick with anti aliasing aswell, the pure black lines look hard and pointy, the anti aliased lines llok soft and curved. The cat and the little guy in the first post are examples "bad" and "good" in my opinion.

I think you should rework your characters so that they are made exclusively of squares. You can make an impressive walk animation if you take a Rayman sort of approach to it.

I really like Darths idea about making only the important inventory/objects colored, as they would lead towards making the whole world colorful, but then that would also be a different game than you maybe want to go towards. Nice ideas all around.

- No, I mean it's really STUCK. Like adventure-game stuck.

I love all of this.

I am particularly drawn to Darth's variations.
