What art is this?

[Mkhashouf]

Pixel or 2D art can't tell really.

[† Zacrriel †]

Me neither, but id say its something around drawings along 2D/Pixel... Original id call it?

[Serbian Bean Soup]

What true Pixel art is. Unlike so many try-hard artistic pixel games on Steam.

I wouldn't call it "true pixel" art.
But what it does, it does rather well, and is kind of unique. Maybe.

I have no idea how the game is composed right now, but if you venture through an image google search for this game, you'll find plenty .gif examples of: effects, procedural animation and rarely, some 3D background effects from back then.

Here's a rare example of 3D:

What, that's cool.

[RAWRmonger]

I wonder if that's still in the game, though.
Some screenshots do give the impression of perspective, where the background meets the playable ground, but the footage has shown everything to be static camera.

that was never offically in the game, only a test render to show how the levels were put together. they couldn't get it to reach a usable level of performance without redoing everything about how they were making their graphics and scrap a bunch of assets. it's a cool gif though

That's called parallax layering. They're just using more (and nearer) layers than you usually see in other games.

[Ryan Dorkoski]

Isn't any art on a computer screen both 2D and pixel? I mean really, its about grain size.

Cats... yep, it'll sell. It could have a rainbow pop tart sticking out its butt and sell. Name it slug cat, top sell. Hilarious.


The art looks OK. "true" art always gets a laugh out of me as well. Of course it's pixels, and of course it's art. Looks 2d as well...

It's made from polygons that bend and stretch.

That gif looks horrendous. Very disorienting. Glad that isn't in the game.

Don't get me wrong, it's art and it's pixels, but actual pixel art is a different style than what he's doing in here. But it is good nonetheless, if only for the fact it does look good and (to my knowledge) looks original.

It's only stressing it that hard to show depth. I imagine in the game would be a lot smoother.

If that helps you sleep at night, you can keep believing it. <3
