A man astronaut, a lady astronaut, and a robot astronaut, though I'm not sure the lady astronaut reads as such. It doesn't matter, really, except that the characters should be clearly distinct. They're based on sketches from ages ago, and rendered in 1bit probably because of Arachne's 1bit space stuff. Only one of the portraits(at the bottom) would be displayed at a time, to show which character you're currently controlling. Making a language using tetris blocks as letters is unwise.

I've always been a fan of the old black and white.
The lady could do with some femine features, because right now it looks like a young boy.

Also, the positioning of the arms on the guy is a little strange.
I think it's his left arm, should try just showing the forearm and his hand coming from his hip.

Robot is a little bland, cant really make out what is what.
Yeah it's black and white, but there's still a lot you can do.
