    I’m so bored of pixel art games. There’s plenty of standouts but more often than not, they look like…everything else. It’s so hard to make a unique aesthetic when you’re literally limited on pixel count.

    I think they’re as are as popular as they are because you can make an awesome game on a low(er) budget so there’s more awesome games out there. But as it stands, I need to hear some really good things about a pixel game to get me interested because the aesthetic itself is a turnoff for me.

      Blasphemous was the first pixel game that jumped in my head for really outstanding art. Wild character design, and the kill animations are unique and brutal.

      It’s like they saw what castlevania wanted to be and blew it out of the water.

        Unique, high quality pixel art styles are definitely attainable. I’m just bored of the retro aesthetic
