I have no words to describe such a wonderful masterpiece!!! Keep up your good work! 

Que incrível 

-edit- i submitted the comment twice because the 1st one wasn't showing >_>;

Is that a reference to the band, L'arc~en~ciel?

With the Q leg turning into an L?

lol

Reminds me a lot of SoM. I like the clear blue water as well. I also like your portraits. I need to take a closer look at this later to appreciate the level of detail you put into these screens.

I love it, plain and simple. Nice one :)

awesome art

Nice graphics, lil bit plain though its a style, i guess 

This looks so much better than any of those darn Mac&Blue Sets. It even took me a moment to natice that Nr5 is just the standard RM2k menu. I'd wish more maker games would look like this. five stars!!

Those aren't really "shadows".
Those are generic wandering enemy sprites. I made them look like silhouettes so it's easy to reuse them for various enemies of the same type (e.g. all bird-like enemies would be represented by that black falcon sprite).
I never really thought of ICO when making them. Actually, I played it for the first time AFTER I finished them. Yeah, they do bear resemblance, but I've seen this design in dozens of games before (e.g. Planescape: Torment).

hey, very nice.. 5/6 + fav

only crit is too little contrast
