Might do some tweaking here and there, but I'm quite happy with this.

Yeah, I gave mine a background and it didn't work.

This is Probably the final peice, unless anyone has any improvements?

Yeah, but the player seems out of center... Isn't it a bad thing for a mockup?

Anyway, here's what I got:

Hey guys. Been a while since I've been here, but this challenge was too much fun not to do. Reminds me of when I used to pixel on my old TI-84.

Here's a rough cut, and probably all I will do today.


I know the lightning is crap. It's a 1min placeholder for now. If the idea isn't obvious, the player summons "Jini" to fly and use magic attacks (you take control of her until her combo HP/SP bar drains). Also, you have a gun.

Btw, I have to agree with philippejugnet, even though I stopped reading the flame war about halfway through. Mockups usually show the main game area, and even if a title screen is *technically* also a mockup, you aren't going to win this comp if you do one. I think the spirit of the comp was to mock up gameplay. (Dang it, have I involved myself now?)

Pretty funny that I posted this mockup right after Jinn...

Here's what I've got so far. I'm really not sure what kind of detail I should go into with only two colors. Readability is a real issue. I'm hoping I'll have time for an animation.


Also, @ CPearson: I'd just like to say that your use of syllogism was a pleasant surprise in a flame war, even if the validity of it went unnoticed.

I have made, and submitted, some sort of an animated mockup. First time I've used keyframe animation extensively, and I must say I like using it :)

Some very cool pixels already, i especially like philippejugnet 's, andrio's et dennis'...

Started something for this challenge...


Edit v1: now black background and dirty dithering added.
Edit v2: new playground (middle) but i'm still not satisfied!
Edit v3: better playground (?), shadows, finish flag, time...

At last it's finished, now waiting approval.

Really basic attempt

you control a fish, said fish collects shiny orb whilst avoiding bubbles by crab, 10 points each orb, each 50 points you go up a level and the crab speeds up, you die one hit

I made a new piece based on Battleship and I don't know how to make an explosion.

There's still one ship that I didn't draw.



Not sure which face is better either.

@Baah I hope you know the Challenge specifies "any two colors EXCEPT pure black or white."

It also specifies 160px as width and 120 px as height.

I guess you had a stray blue hidden somewhere, I fixed it with a color replacer tool, hope you don't mind.


that should be 2 colors

edit: heh, this was the culprit

As I saw this challenge, I decided to take part in it. But sadly, I think I haven't read the rules carefully enough... When I found out that my piece I'm working on probably can't be accepted at the challenge, half of it was already done. So I decided to stick with it and ask you if it is allowed or not as I can't lose anything by asking.
What I did wrong is making a mockup of a game that does not exist, but it's based on an already existing one, namely El Shaddai. And ofc I also used pictures from the game as reference.

Here it is, 99% ready:




If the answer is no, I might want to still submit it to my gallery but not for the challenge - if it's alright.

Hello, I'm all new with the forum (1st post, hurray!) and this is only my 2nd participation to a weekly challenge.
I plan to animate those screens (maybe add some others if i have enough time), I'll be glad to hear critics or opinions about it :)
There are so many entries with high quality, i feel very intimidated, haha ^^
