Hey, that's a Mudokon, isn't it? 
Snader is right that you shouldn't AA outlines... here it looks good but on another background colour it won't.
Aside from that I can't really think of any crits.

very hard to distinguish the different parts of the body as it stands. I see an arm and a hand, also a foot at the very bottom. I'mnot even sure how to fix that, I just see it as a problem.

Yeah, I'd suggest working on the body a bit more. It's so dark that it's hard to tell what's what.

The body does need some definition for sure. Adding some subtle highlighting along the edges would help.

Heh, this looks totally like Abe from Abe's Odyssey. Great game.

Anti-Alias, and it mean to make the edges softer (because of pixel's "squareness") adding a lighter tone of colour out of the black (or dark) outline

Hah, generally AA's needed with dark outline on light bg and vicecersa

 

du understand my explanation?
