Just a little showcase of how you can now put enemies in your inventory!

Northern lights over our balconies in Germany? The Allsàl seems to be watching over our development. This must be a sign ✨

We added a fire propagation system inspired by Far Cry 2... and things got out of hand fast. 😅

Made a "ghost line" VFX I'm incredibly proud of. It's supposed to always show the player which torch they're connected to. Does it do its job?

I made an animated daytime timer for Rootbound. It's the first-ever pixel art "artwork" I've done, if you can even call a simple planet an "artwork." 😅
But it took forever, and I'm quite proud of it. 👀
Does it read well as a clock? Any suggestions?

I made more states for my #pixelart health bar "blood drops".
They are supposed to convey getting damage, healing, and earning more permanent health.
How do they read?

Be honest... How does it look?
(It is supposed to be the different states of a health bar)
