Pixeling more enemies for Vikings on Trampolines. Needed an enemy that could pop the balloons you're standing on. Like... a bird, that carries a saw. A Saw-Bird. Man... I made that beak real floppy. #pixelart #ドット絵 #gamedev

Making new enemy sprites for Vikings on Trampolines. The temp-sketch for the Blimpolini is a large balloon that acts as temporary platform, but its also mindlessly carrying a bomb, so you need to pop it before it blows up. I added a bit of a subtle fish-theme as well #pixelart #ドット絵 #gamedev

A saw-wielding bird that pops the balloon you're standing on is a genuinely mean enemy placement, punishing the player's own mobility tool. Does the floppy beak read as a tell before it attacks?

Your process is kinda magical to watch because honestly the shapes seem baffling or clunky and then you slightly position them and texturize and suddenly they are utterly perfect. Really unique design sensibility!
