alpha channel transparencies and other automated tools such as auto AA lines are forbidden in Pixel Art. at least for PJ's gallery.
and dont let your eyes fool you. 1 single pixel with 1 single color diferent to the rest is indeed +1 color to the general palette. control over each pixel in both placement and color is the way.
Didn't know we couldn't use alpha colors, but it seems logical, you're right v__v
But for the 63 colors I don't understand, I counted them and there were like 30 colors...
well, the image has 63 colors and the maximun allowed for the challenge is 32. so i'd say there is a lot of non allowed tools used in this piece such as partially transparent layers. the shadow behind the building tells me you used a alpha channel transparency but when saved as a GIF animation it was turned into a solid color.
