I enjoyed playing this! I've been a sucker for this kind of game ever since I first laid eyes on Alien Breed, but good homebrew examples are kinda hard to come by. Many developers seem to manage to put way more effort into it and still get the basics completely wrong.
Looks like about half the sprites and tiles went unused.
That doesn't happen for everyone. You would be unlucky if it happened for you :-( It could be that for some people, the two skills compete for the use of the same part of the brain. There is a lot of individual variation in how people learn skills! It's possible that could be happening to you, but it doesn't seem very likely.
Generally the limit for the things you can be good at is just the limit on the amount of stuff that you can do regularly. There are only 24 hours in a day and most of those are already taken up with the basics of just being alive, so there's only so much stuff that you can regularly practice. If you don't do something for a while then you will get "rusty" on it and lose some skill. However, for most people, with something which they have once really gotten into and gotten good at, if they come back to it after years of not doing it, they will start "rusty" but then they will fairly quickly get back to the skill level that they were at previously. I've gone years without doing art sometimes.
Looks like it would go with a minimalist, abstract style based on unshaded coloured shapes. For that purpose I guess it might be more useful in vector form, or at a much higher resolution. I'd also add a few "stars" very close to the edges (but not crossing them), so that it wraps better.
How expensive is it to create an NFT from a piece?
If the cost isn't significant, then somebody is right now running a crawler bot which is making NFTs of every file that it can find on the web. Also, all sites (especially ones like OpenGameArt) will eventually run code that automatically NFTs everything uploaded to it.
What are those things behind his legs in the running animation?
This was 12 months ahead of its time...
Enjoyed this! Looks like the boss sprite is missing, though?
I see that you had some more interesting ideas that never made it in, like that caterpillar boss.
You can do a 3x3 's' character like this:
011
010
110

That is looking quite cool.

It's the intro to a song that Dimmu Borgir never wrote! :-P
