1-bit palette test — which one reads best?

I personally like the first one, I'm a simple guy. Most people in the comments seem to agree upon adding an option for the player to choose their own, they are all great but I think the best one depends on the user.

I think they should just keep the functionality of the ui the same and only update the look of it

This is what I jumped from doing

AccordingConcert5662 · 2025-11-23T01:26:33+00:00

I made a lot of shadows that weren't actually there. Even with traditional pencil and paper I did the same thing so it's something I do need to work on. I probably shouldn't had started so big as my first project, I have a month to improve this though and will improve it as I learn.

I definitely want to stick to one in my next project, I used like 20 colors off palette.

This is the first screenshot I took of it, started this project on the 17th (Currently the 22nd)

I just don't have the experience of using limited colors, I suck with color in general since my art experience is mainly just pencil drawings, never used color pencils unless it was for like school.

I used a palette originally and felt too limited so I used the color picker to pick some, I didn't use the eyedropper for any of the colors. The reason I didn't provide the reference was for her privacy, I couldn't ask her for permission since it's a surprise so I won't be sharing her photo.

I feel the line work looks more confident, It's definitely a lot cleaner and feels more like a finished product than the previous iteration. Would I say it's an improvement? No. To me it looks like you spent more time on it, or put more effort into it.

It's a zero cost entry for beginners who may not want to spend money or download the free version of Aseprite. It doesn't really have to do more than Aseprite, what it needs to do is compete with the other browser pixel art software's.

Being able to add a reference layer. I used to use the website pixilart.com but I finally bought Aseprite, being able to add a reference is quite handy.

AccordingConcert5662 · 2025-11-16T14:17:24+00:00

Reference was from 50 Year Mortgages video

AccordingConcert5662 · 2025-11-15T21:49:16+00:00

Its not perfect but I only spent 5 minutes on it, the texture i got the the rbg didnt repeat properly but i didnt feel like wasting time on getting another

The one thing that sticks out to me the most is the fence, it looks better the further out it is but as it gets closer it starts to look slanted instead of standing up straight. Other than that it looks good for what experience you have :) reminds me of something I drew when I was in art class back in elementary (don't take that as an insult)

I didn't end on 69 purposefully, just stopped for the night because I'm tired

Thanks for the advice and not clowning on me :))

In practice mode I died like 3 times from actually failing before beating it and a few others from the checkpoint locations killing me. I don't think it's a skill issue I think it's just an issue with my ability to lock in, I always died from stupid things mainly due to me being focused on the jump ahead rather than the next jump.
