Dev Pics! 1 week of work...

Welcome to the Test Level...
Image

As you may not notice in still pictures, the town in the background does have a parallax effect.
Image

The Clouds up there, actually move too.
Image

Pressing the Dash Button, lets you dash backwards. This is made for evasive maneuvers.
Image

Pressing the Jump Button while ducking lets you slide. Made for maneuvering under low ceilings/objects.
Image

Here is an example:
Image

Jumping is lets you go up to 3 to 4 blocks. You can control your direction while mid-air.
Image

Attacking while grounded stops you in location, unless you're in mid-air.
Image

You get pushed back when you get hurt. But gain 1.5 seconds of invulnerability.
Image

Of course, you die when your HP reaches 0.
Image

The blue projectile is an Auxiliary attack. This is Type 1, a fast projectile.
It is like an normal attack, but it releases a projectile.
Image

Type 2 is an arcing projectile.
Image

Type 3 is a ground-crawling projectile. It moves along the ground.
Image

Type 4 is bounces off walls.
Image

Type 5 is a slow projectile. It does continuous damage.
Image

Type 6 is not an actual projectile. But rather it is a barrier that protects the player for 9 to 10 seconds.
It does not protect again physical attacks(may be changed).
Image

This is what I've worked on so far...
BEARS!!! BEARS!!!

Looks good, except for the player sprite.

A normal human head is rounder, like that.

1) You're missing the point.
2) The head you linked is horrible.
3) The sprite's head is fine. It's called style.
This. Also stop trying to show off by linking your own work as an example.

Out for lunch. Return uncertain.

I see what his inspiration for the idle/walk stance was.

Image

That said, this player sprite looks incredibly disfigured. Especially head/legs. The entire section of the torso/arms remind me suspiciously of Terraria.
3) The sprite's head is fine. It's called style.
No.

Image

This is.
Notice the lack of revolting features.

Drac's sprite looks like the sides of the head are bald, the hair looks like a strip of bacon on top of the head, the legs sort of noodle into the torso and what the hell is that thing on his belt. Is it rags of a blue miniskirt or is it a rubber band, wrapped around his right leg?

Overall I can just advice him to simplify the sprite. Many of the features he has put on it (Like a mouth) aren't even necessary on a sprite and he seems to have drawn it that way simply to make it deriviative of his usual drawing style, which does not work well at all in sprited form.

[5:37:26 PM] MintE: what drac made just screams of inexperience
[5:37:39 PM] MintE: and a total disregard for proper convention
[5:37:51 PM] MintE: not to mention it totally says fuck you to it being an art

[5:27:53 PM] MintE: I mean, I seriously hope he made the birck texture too
[5:27:58 PM] MintE: brick*
[5:28:07 PM] MintE: he basically opened paint
[5:28:10 PM] Happy Flan the CS: bricks could be better
[5:28:11 PM] Alex Lorenz: Brick texture looks fine.
[5:28:14 PM] MintE: and used the defualt colors
[5:28:21 PM] MintE: BUT DEFUALT COLORS
[5:28:24 PM] Alex Lorenz: But feels like he should do some shading instead of sprinkling dark pixels all over them.
[5:28:37 PM] MintE: nah, it's simple enough to work
[5:28:48 PM] MintE: shading would add another dimension
[5:28:54 PM] MintE: that the rest just doesn't have
[5:29:12 PM] MintE: It's more like COLOR 2TONE
[5:29:13 PM] Happy Flan the CS: I really hope he just changes the player sprite to a jumping blob
[5:29:20 PM] MintE: GOTTA LOOK GOOD WITH MY 3 COLORS
[5:29:30 PM] Alex Lorenz: Then why add those dark pixels to bricks at all.
[5:29:34 PM] MintE: GOTTA USE TOO MUCH BLUE
[5:29:46 PM] Alex Lorenz: Again, looks like good bricks. With dark pixels randomly sprayed all over.
[5:29:50 PM] MintE: really, people need to go back to using a limited color palette
[5:30:18 PM] MintE: also, the bricks are not good, they are lazy
[5:30:23 PM] Alex Lorenz: I like em.
[5:30:28 PM] Happy Flan the CS: They're okay
[5:30:30 PM] Alex Lorenz: The outline, at least.
[5:30:32 PM] Happy Flan the CS: Just not perfect
[5:30:38 PM] MintE: THE OUTLINE IS A FUCKING RECTANGLE
[5:30:40 PM] Alex Lorenz: Just. Not the random holes.
[5:30:43 PM] MintE: WITH OTHER FUCKING RECTANGLES
[5:30:45 PM] Alex Lorenz: And it extends to that other sprite.
[5:30:49 PM] MintE: OFFSET BY HALF A RECTANGLE
[5:30:52 PM] Alex Lorenz: Which looks like 2 vertical rectangles.
[5:31:01 PM] Alex Lorenz: With exact same random dark pixels.
[5:31:21 PM] Alex Lorenz: "Lazy" would be the clouds.
[5:31:30 PM] MintE: there's MORE
[5:31:31 PM] Alex Lorenz: They are the definition of mspaint tool misuse.
[5:31:32 PM] MintE: PLEASE
[5:31:32 PM] MintE: SIR
[5:31:35 PM] MintE: LINK ME
[5:31:42 PM] Alex Lorenz: huh
[5:31:46 PM] Alex Lorenz: You didnt see actual pics?
[5:31:47 PM] Alex Lorenz: http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/83 ... t110a.png/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
[5:31:49 PM] MintE: no
[5:32:03 PM] MintE: OH GOD THAT UI
[5:32:10 PM] MintE: HERP DERP PLAIN JANE
[5:32:16 PM] Alex Lorenz: PUMAMAN! HE FLIES LIKE A MORON!
[5:32:22 PM] Alex Lorenz: (Wonders who got it)
[5:32:26 PM] MintE: oh god
[5:32:28 PM] MintE: Pupa
[5:32:32 PM] MintE: I prefer Pupa
[5:32:46 PM] MintE: he's so fucking capricious
[5:33:04 PM] MintE: also, I hate him for those clouds
[5:33:10 PM] MintE: it's a mockery
[5:33:17 PM] Alex Lorenz: I somehow instantly imagine that really androginous singer dude from Labyrinth when I see that jump sprite.
[5:33:18 PM] Firefox11: Mock mock
[5:33:24 PM] MintE: it's no better than using a gradiant
[5:33:32 PM] Alex Lorenz: [5:31 PM] Alex Lorenz:

<<< "Lazy" would be the clouds.[5:31 PM] Alex Lorenz:

<<< They are the definition of mspaint tool misuse.Told ya.
[5:33:47 PM] MintE: also, he really loves paint spackle
[5:33:48 PM] Happy Flan the CS: I would rather imagine it as a giant octopus
[5:33:49 PM] Happy Flan the CS: really
[5:34:20 PM] Alex Lorenz: But yea.
[5:34:22 PM] Alex Lorenz: Look at bricks.
[5:34:29 PM] Alex Lorenz: And that block that looks like 2 vertical rectangles.
[5:34:33 PM] Alex Lorenz: Holes all over.
[5:34:38 PM] MintE: yes
[5:34:40 PM] MintE: it is shit
[5:34:50 PM] Happy Flan the CS: Holey shit
[5:34:51 PM] Alex Lorenz: I thought he wanted it to look worn down.
[5:34:52 PM] MintE: I wonder if that was an after effect
[5:34:58 PM] MintE: or if he made that texture
[5:35:00 PM] Alex Lorenz: Hence I think he should do uneven shading.
[5:35:04 PM] Alex Lorenz: Instead of those.
[5:35:16 PM] MintE: I don't think he knows how to do that Alex
[5:35:16 PM] Alex Lorenz: I think he made those in about 1 sec.
[5:35:20 PM] Alex Lorenz: With spray tool.
[5:35:43 PM] MintE: also, tell him his character is too colorful
[5:35:48 PM] Alex Lorenz: I know.
[5:35:51 PM] Alex Lorenz: Looks faaabulous.
[5:35:51 PM] MintE: you never want that many colors going on
[5:35:56 PM] Happy Flan the CS: It should be a black blob
[5:35:57 PM] Happy Flan the CS: really
[5:35:58 PM] MintE: so distracting
[5:36:05 PM] Happy Flan the CS: Giant black blob
[5:36:06 PM] MintE: or something one-color
[5:36:12 PM] Hyphen Ü: the funny part is
[5:36:14 PM] Happy Flan the CS: Nothing screams cool like giant black blob
[5:36:17 PM | Removed 5:36:20 PM] Happy Flan the CS: This message has been removed.
[5:36:21 PM] Hyphen Ü: his sprite is still better than quote
[5:36:23 PM] Alex Lorenz: Should I just copy entire convo and paste it in the thread?
[5:36:23 PM] Hyphen Ü: and ballos
[5:36:30 PM] MintE: fuck no it ain't
[5:36:44 PM] MintE: because you see, Pixel actually knows how to sprite, he knows color theory
[5:36:48 PM] MintE: he knows shading
[5:36:51 PM] MintE: he has experience
[5:36:54 PM] MintE: and he's GOOD
