13 colors and 38 tiles(16x16). That contest was fun and some great entries (so go over to pixelation and have a look at them if you haven't seen them yet)

The low color count is what killed the piece, for me. Your colors seem to have the same sort of glow to them and everything looks to be the same, except a bit noisy. It's hard to focus anywhere on it and it gets boring very fast. I think you should've indulged and made some better palettes, even if it meant using more colors, because that's surely what would've gotten it more votes.
