The Spriters Roguelike

[Gors]

---

These little sprites seem like a good way to practice shapes without them getting out of control.

Also yes. Pixelart is not about "retro-looking graphics" in my opinion.

It's a test of readability and efficient character design. If you can manage to make something good and understandable in this size, this is a signal of good design.

I like your sprite, but the dark blue/purple scheme kind of melts together. Perhaps playing with the colors will help?
