no they arent meant to be 8-bit

theyre just meant to be simple

Orgasmatron....... Look... Simple sprites, like the ones you made, aren't going to cut it on an elite sprite hosting site, like this one. If you must have a better chance at having them submitted, then can you at least try to add some animation frames to your sprites or shade them?

This is Sprite Discussion, not submission. Nowhere did Orgasmatron mention he'd submit them when he's done.

And besides, there's this thing called stylistic simplicity. In my opinion, it looks pretty good here. My only nitpick is Olimar's eyes. Unless you're going for a bird's eye view, I'd suggest making them straight lines.
