Hahaha, no problem! Three or four or whatever, it's still an impressively low amount of colors for all of the personality and detail packed into the sprites.

Omg... you're right. I literally had to count them one by one while reading your post then rechecking what I had written so far to grasp it. That never happened before, can I blame the lack of sleep? *facepalm* 

Apologies for the confusion! 

But, unless I literally cannot count, each one is actually four colors without transparency, or five colors including it. There's the black color that's the darkest for each (1), the orange-ish midtone (2), the brighter and more pale highlight (3), and then the purple or red mostly used for clothing (4). . . . I think I know what insanity feels like now. :P

The description does say "3 colours PLUS TRANSPARENCY". 

Thanks for the kind word though! 

Wait, now the description says three colors per sprite instead of four. Regardless, these look good; the colors are recycled really well on each one!

Damn, just 3 colours.

Amazing stuff!

Maaaaster, thank you!

Fantastic job man!!

Thanks for pointing that out, it was obviously a mistake, I forgot to write "for each sprite" and then my oh so bright mind stuck to a 4 colours count lol
Aaaand it's corrected!

The submission as a whole features 7 distinct colours, so saying it has 4 is a little unfair. That aside though, there look great! This is excellent use of the limited palettes, especially on Diddy Kong.
