the biggest problem I see is the colours. Personally, I don't like thw whole color choice, but apart from that, there is a huge lack in contrast. You have several shades which are almost identical. When you do pixel art, every colour you use should have a purpose. If you have two colours that look the same, you could just as well use only one.
Moreover, you don't need to come up with a new set of greens for every bush and tree. You can reuse colours from one for the other to give the scene a more uniform look. If you want to use different sets, then try to make them actually different - one more green, the other blue, another tinted brown, but don't make them different, yet extremely similar.
Generally, I'd suggest that you cut down on the amount of colours and use a tad more contrast between the shades. I'd say three colours per ramp should be enough, mostly. You can use the outline colour for shading, too.
Next point is the shading - it looks really messy and random mostly. As though it was merely scribbled.
Also, try to post pixels at 1x scale, not 4x like the tileset there
