The sprites are a little rough, but they are pretty recognizable. I think the outlines just need a bit of work. The background could also benefit from some AA. I would definitely play this though, and I don't really like runner games.
On a side note: I quit playing because I got stuck on Nito, and I just don't want to go back to the ToG. But this makes me want to try again.
Plus for the sand and landscape, minus for the rest, especially sprites.
Thanks for the comments :)
