thanks for your comments, everyone!

carrion: im kind of a young brat myself and didnt have the opportunity to watch facet's progress back in the times but i do recognize the guy -- i guess his pixels were along the ones i derived my inspiration from back in the day when i was starting. its a very honorable thing to be compared to the best so thanks a lot for that, mate :) unfortunately, i havent seen the game -- looks very bitmap brother-esque and i really dig the style -- i dont know whether facet (funny name when you consider its polish meaning :)) was working in core at that point though.

 for me colors and dithering remind me of a Facet picels. Facet ofcoz was a Amiga demoscene guru back in 90's.
Also the style is a bit like from the Amiga game called "Banshee" from Core Designs. Was it Facet's? pixels aswell?

The color choice and dithering style remind me of something you'd see on an Amiga scene demo, which is never a bad thing.

Excellent!

This is a great use of colours!
