GB Pixel Jam 2024 /Stranded on the Phantom planet
A downloadable asset pack
My submission to the GB Pixel Art Jam 2024 where I had to create an image for the GameBoy Color by using my choice of one of the four available palettes . There was no other theme for the jam than the color palette choice.
As an additional challenge, I chose the palette I thought would be the most difficult for me considering my style, while staying true to my aesthetic.
I built the art with the concept on mind of a atmospheric, exploratory platformer.

Nice job! The UI skulls have tons of personality. This really looks like an actual CGA-era game!
Ghost busted :)
This is freaking cool, love the palette choice for the subject matter, feels neo futuristic, alien and spooky all in one! Great character designs too
Yo, this is awesome! Great job! What was your thought process that made you choose this theme? I really dig the typography there (numbers and letters), gives a nice touch to the whole scene!
Very cool! The whole thing is a great piece and I'd totally play this if it was a game. I particularly like your inventory bar with the skulls - that's an inspired use of tiling!
Thank you, I started a bit late on this jam so I wish I'd have had more time to fine tune the skulls even though I'm pretty happy with what I got. I think I could have found a way to maybe make the skulls smaller and a bit less intrusive, or maybe skulls just in the corners with other bones covering a horizontal line between them. In any case, I really enjoyed the process, I'm glad you liked the idea of it.
Nah they give it such a cool chunky vibe, it's a defining feature 😉 but yeah it's always tricky using large scale white, it can be very eye catching. The white skulls and white boxes definitely pull your eye down. But I reckon it kind of suits the vibrancy of the pink up top.
