really like the trees.lots of movement.. Have you done each individually?

Those look great! Makes it look like an oil painting.

Yeah I don't know if that's what I want..

Okay people, here's Astrobot. It's a one-level metroidvania, coming soon to Scirra Arcade!

— Love the style and the idea of having one level. Interesting :)

Thanks and funny you should mention, as you seem to have really nice art style going on yourself.

Anyways, I've always loved metroidvanias, they make level design a challenge. Also, I tried to add some replay value with the arcades new high score feature.

I'm planning to upload the game there in a few weeks, gotta polish some rough edges first.

What do you guys think?

The Ghosthouse with Boo is missing ;)

pcfernandesjr - That doesn't suck at all :) The only thing that I would maybe change is the lighting on the cave - it seems a little inconsistent with the light source. I hope you don't mind - I've done a really quick paint over to show you what I mean...

Feel free to ignore my advice though - it looks great either way :)

SMW have a great influence in my work, it is not a shame at all to admit that. ;)

No problem at all fellow, that was a great suggestion. I have a lot of difficulty with lightning, heheh

other thing that bothers me is that I couldn't develop a nice and simple texture for water, just like a managed to do with the grass.

Thanks a lot! ;)

pcfernandesjr - Maybe try leaving the water a flat colour and just randomly spawning a wave animation? Would be pretty simple to do and would add some dynamics to the scene as well - here's a rough animated gif in case that didn't make sense...

Hope it's okay to post feedback and suggestions in here :P

More than OK fellow! =)

I was working on something like that. But I like most the idea of the waves appearing and disappearing, like you did, mine was more like an static set of small waves spreaded around the sea going from left to right.

I'll work on the cave and the waves idea later at home. Thanks for the help bro! =)

Thank you very much good sir. I love metroidvanias too, can't wait! :)

Nice thought, — Adds some life to the scene.
