Thanks to everyone for the comments and feedback. It seems like it's becoming a sort of a habit to me to participate in these weekly challenges just at the last minute and ending up doing something halfassed really quickly.
That said I could have worked on the perspective a little more, I just wanted to try doing something a little out of the ordinary. I do however like the colors very much myself, they just sort of came to me automatically without much thought.
Pretty good, I like it. The perspective on the pipe is weird though (to me anyways).
I really like this, and it's getting my vote. However, I don't really like the perspective thing being from bottom up. I feel that it works better the other way around. Maybe that's personal preference, I dunno.
Damn man, Mario is looking like he's on a relaxing stroll through his quest! I like his instance so much. Also, the simple HUD and the "darkening" of the ground seems really interesting too...
Looks awesome to me.
