It feels like the environment is missing something. But I don't know what is missing. 

Please give me some feedback, I am stuck!

Any feedback will be appreciated. Thank You.

Some of it is hard to recognize, try drawing clear sillouhettes and then color them to make it visible what the object is supposed to be (this sentence doesn't make any sense but oh well). Also there's no background, try adding in some landscape and clouds instead of that static blue.

Thanks for the feedback. Definitely going to add clouds and make the silhouettes stronger.

I think you should stick with just one pixel size if that makes sense, the buildings in the background seem "chunkier" than the people, like they are lower res, which in my opinion  creates sort of a confusing look and is not that appealing. Also I agree with everything RedVoxel said. :P

What is your game about?

I did not understand what you meant by one-pixel size? Can You please explain it in detail.

The game is a platformer.

I'm not sure I can explain, what it looks like to me is that the background buildings have been upscaled while the people have not, It would look better if you had drawn the buildings at the same resolution as the people without stretching them. ^^

Yes, I have increased the size of the building. I am going to do some more work on those buildings.

Thank You for the feedback :)

You need a background! Just a big blue "Box" in the back appears to be very boring.

If you are able, try creating a parallax background.

^agree (many available) Or even some pixelart clouds could really add to it, I think.

Parallax background will look awesome! Thanks for the suggestion.

This background already helps a lot to improve the look!

great work!  It definitely looks alot better now!   The gradient was a good choice for the background.  It adds some texture without competing too much with the foreground.
