That's a great level of detail for 13x13 sprites!

The simplicity reminds me of older NES games. Has a nice nostalgic feel to it

Having not seen the original art I can still say I think this like quite good!!

One minor thing which you probably already are on top of is the shadow when there are multiple lights nearby seems to jump when the ghost crosses a threshold between the lights.

Oh gotcha. Didn't realize you were using the NES palette. Anyway wasn't trying to be overly negative. I think overall the solution is a good one compared to having a bunch of bars!

I like the concept. Have you tried a dim rather than a hard gray? With the gray it is easier to notice but the icon quickly becomes a gray blob. Just a thought. I do like the concept 🙂

That's excellent. Sleek yet simple solution

Looks quite nice. I like the little dust trail that follows the character. Little things make a big difference

Impressive! It's cool what a big difference a few rotating half circles make. Love the effect

Love the art. I'm getting flashbacks to Legends of Zelda Links Awakening.

Love the concept!

No experience with the games you mention but I really like the smooth elegant rotation effect. Nicely done

I'm a sucker for mechs so that sounds great haha. How far along in development are you
October 11, 2025 at 4:43 PM
I love your UI and those blue missiles. Been working and reworking my own UI trying to get it right. Yours gives me hope haha. How are those blue missiles moving? I notice some zigzagging as they are maybe switching targets? Looks super sleek!

Now that's blood splatter! What are you making this in?
October 11, 2025 at 3:38 PM
I love the lighting effects 😁

That's a sweet looking model. Is it a mech or a power suit?

They should legit consider making this the official icon. Impressive small your changes are yet how big a change they make!
