After:
As you can see, these colours fit a lot better with the general palette of the in-game tiles and sprites. Another advantage is that these colours invoke more of a 90s feel which we were going for in the first place.
The next change is adding legs to the sprites. Sprites felt a bit floaty since you could never see the legs that were causing the sprites to move. We've also improved the player sprite a bit - we've made the backpack a lot more obvious now:
Tomorrow we'll be releasing a video tutorial on how to use the level editor in which we'll make a map from start to finish.
