@chasersgaming:  Sorry to hold you in suspense.  I am still working my way through all the entries before I go back and rate them and choose a favorite.

I like it!   The chocolate color makes that dirt almost look tasty!

Thanks for sharing!

For reasons I may never understand, I took a crack at shifting this set over to the sega master system palette.   I don't know why, but I just can't get enough of that SMS palette lately.

Anyways, here's the results, just posting for fun and in case it might inspire others to join me in the cult of the SMS palette.  :)

So that little pink gum drop guy (or gal?) straight up inspired Yulpers! my entry into this year's OpenGameArt Summer Game Jam.   I loved how there was a single section version of him/her and then a two section version.  That got me thinking it would make for an easy Mario-clone, with the little version serving as little Mario and the double section version serving as big Mario (after he eats the mushroom).  Then I thought, why stop at two sections, maybe he just keeps getting taller...  But a super tall character seemed kinda odd for a platfomer, so then I thought, what if he doesn't get taller, he gets longer.... And poof!  Yulpers was born!

I also used a bunch of your other great stuff as the basis for the tiles and backgrounds in the game.  Plus your super cool beetle bug from the 'Various Creatures' set for the baddies.

thanks again for sharing all your great art, I findit very literally inspirational!  :)

@chasersgaming:  Got a question on the ratings.  How are we supposed to score the 'Art Challenge' rating?  If I understand correctly, that one is supposed to be bonus points for using works from the OGA art challenges, is that right?   Do we just give one star for each asset used or something like that?
