This is a tileset for grid-based 2D games, focused on simplicity and resource-limited devices. It's created from scratch and released under CC0 1.0, public domain. It will probably continue to be updated from time to time. The features and philosophy (for those wishing to expand the tileset further) are:

- Tile resolution is 8x8, a power of two side length that's very small but still not EXTREMELY small.
- Palette used is RGB332, it's a general universal 256 color palette that's not copyrighted by anyone and doesn't have to be explicitly stored in memory.
- In general if it's possible to make tiles so that other ones can be created automatically, we do so. This can help save memory as a program can generate tiles at run time as needed, and it's still possible to store prerendered tiles where memory/storage isn't an issue.
- Similarly we try to minimize the number of necessary tile variants, e.g. of transitions between different types of tiles. I.e. if we can make a tile so that it doesn't require variants for its borders, we do so, and if we can't, we at least try to make a generic border that can be used to transition to any other tile, and so on.
- With animated tiles we try to reduce the number of frames to absolute minimum, typically just two.
- Where possible, symmetric tiles are made so that their symmetric versions can be created automatically by simple operations such as a horizontal flip (i.e. there's no need to manually correct shading and so on).
- Similarly where it's possible, we allow creating combined tiles by simply overlaying the tiles in question.
- Tiles are organized in a single sheet and logically grouped, leaving space for potential expansions of any type of tile.
