have fun

challenge accepted!

opens up with a more subdued palette. slightly dark with a black sky and cloudy background. I use palette animation to make the clouds flash lightning.

in the second park, I darken the palette farther, however, the lightning flashes remain the same intensity.

Medium auto-scroll plus fishing dry-bones increases difficulty

building comes into view with dry-bones hot on your tail

lets play spot the bad guy!

lightning reveals his location! Tredd carefully...

spotting this one should be easy.

taken down!

It does not look that bad to me and it seems pretty good at first glance. However, some palettes look slightly out of place in the generally dark level (also "Mario" in the status bar has an odd blue outline that does not look the best. The palette in this screenshot also does not seem that good:



(read: Specifically the background - it does seem slightly horrible)

the lightning dissipates the brightest flash first. the screen shot was taken at that point. I see what you mean in the status bar though
