Hello everyone Kozmo here I'm working on a new project and wanted to get some feedback. Do you guys still enjoy retro-style games like this?
This is a part of my upcoming game
This is inherently subjective. IMO graphical style is separate from its graphics quality.
I am more attracted to quality graphics than gameplay, but good gameplay is what makes me stay. I think that goes for most people.
About your example specifically, the sprite sizes don’t really match. Some sprites are more blocky than others, which leads to a messy aesthetic. I think if you handle that, results will improve tenfold.
Thank you for the honest feedback. You make a great point classic games like H.E.R.O. are brilliant because of how they worked within hardware limits, not just the pixels. The lo-fi look was a deliberate choice, but you're completely right that a single static image can't convey the actual depth or gameplay mechanics. I'm working on a video teaser and a demo to show what’s actually under the image
