Made this during the Global Game Jam on Sunday morning, over a couple sleep-deprived half-awake hours just before the second wind (and warm black coffee) kicks in and we give the last 9-hour push before the deadline at 3PM. I remember almost falling asleep on the keyboard a few times (I probably actually fell asleep once or twice). I slept about 4 hours in total that weekend! I think this is one of the best things i've done during the whole event though. Maybe I should do more sleep deprived sprites in the future, who cares if I get a little brain damage in the process!

I also made two robots with a walk cycle on each, but they were made in detached pieces for the purpose of the game; ill put em together later and post them too.

Having done a couple explosion sprites recently, this is a piece I gotta appreciate textually.  Very nice, and great reference!  Can't count how many times I've either half-fallen asleep or fallen asleep without knowing while plowing through tedius animations like this.  Well done!!

Actually I agree about the circle.  I think a more jagged flash would increase the dramatic look somewhat.  The circle just makes thing seem a bit too artificial.   Other than that the explosion itself is very well done.

 

I have no idea what I'm talking about.  I just woke up.

Your stuff is unmistakeable from the preview :) Might be the use of black.

Agreed. The white circle is great the way it is. Call it a matter of style, demon11777.

This has a nice sense of explosive force.

This is a common effect used in sprited explosions. It mimics a flash of light, but since the flash is executed via the explosion animation instead of on the whole screen(in a game) it's limited by the size of the explosion. A flash of a white circle is much more appealing than a square that fills up the whole canvas.

 I Think it's odd how perfectly circular the white circle is. No explosion is perfect :P

 It's kinda strange how the pure black and white balls are larger than the initial more colorful part of the explosion.
