Top Pixel Art - January 2014 (#9)
Jizz ... In ... My Pants! .............. It's too awesome, the movement, the contrast ..... Love it!
I would pay AAA price to play this game. Its style is just... amazing.
Looked through the devblog. Seriously digging this. Love the art style and your animations are fantastic.
I am not in the mood to get involved into another such silly "debate".
All the more I am glad to see your response is pretty much perfect.
You tread with care between practical sense and amusing anecdote.
She looks self-confident, competent and badass -- with a wink.
Rather than sexualized, she is athletic, her tools task-oriented.
But that does not mean she must be a total kill-joy in everything.
This scene is a tasteful sneak peak, not the last word on her definition.
It maintains an interesting ambiguity, not full-on tease for the only reason.
The quirks of it add to character, beyond killing machine or sex toy.
And quite the narrative that she is the human core within that thing.
Whatever issues people project into this, of all things, is their problem.
And you have no obligation to appeal to everyone -- that's not a fault.
Obviously you did not make it a dedicated effort to offend anyone.
People also have responsibility to moderate their resentments.
Keep on rocking, you and your heroine. Just fun and games. 
Thank you for all this pixel love and for taking the time to comment!!
I love your style in both pixel art and animation. Can't wait to see more.
Checked out the link, everything looks awesome! I think _Connor is right on the money why Skydsgaard would choose to keep the panties.
If I were a robot, I too would require the removal of trousers.
Got to agree with that secv, but while thinking about it couldn't come up with an alternative. I mean she could wear something less revealing underneath, but logically it's not like shes in public, so why would she? The pants aren't going to fit comfortably in the mech, and she needs to wear the mfor protection assuming shes working in some kind of garage. End of the day unless you're some peverted 12 year old it really doesn't matter. It doesn't even compare to zero suit samus. I mean look how nintendo modelled her in the first place. They were obviously trying to create fanservice.
This is awesome. And I like the panties.
Also, the character is cool so I hope she is not in the mecha the whole game. I like her animations.
The whole panties bit ruins it for me to be honest, which is a shame because the ideas for the menus and the execution are great. It reminds me of raunchy pictures people draw of Samus and how sexualized she's become outside of the suit. On one hand you have an armored mercenary, and the other you have a skin-tight suit with a whip for a weapon. It sends a mixed message.
Why bother wearing pants in the base at all if they come off to get in the mech? If the idea is to have fan service or be perverted, that's fine go for it. But if that's not the plan and you'd like for this character to have a story or personality, having them strip on the title screen (so within 10 minutes of starting the game) is doing them a disservice.
Cool stuff!
Get this on Steam so I can give you moneys :D
This is a beautiful style for a game! It tickles me in funny places.
Pretty awesome =D
Only thing that bugs me is the way the climbing anim (pants) is made messy by obscuring foreground elements.
Thanks a lot for taking the time to comment guys, really appreciated
@ADrawingMan Thanks!!
I hope this game is released before more idiots bring out terrible games with this scale of pixel art. There are some really good games with low res but well designed art coming out recently, and also alot of terrible ones trying to jump on the bandwagon ruining it for everyone :\
edit: to clarify, http://indiegames.com/2014/01/path_to_the_sky.html
Things like this, trying to look like awesome games such as S&S or FEZ, but lacking the skill to pull it off.
On the other hand, your game has a similar low res style but still manages to fill it full of properly balanced detail that's a pleasure to look at.
hehe, I actually found the preview full of intrigue and with a promise to deliver...and it does.
Seriously... that preview is HORRIBLE in comparison here. I almost didn't click on this. Great animation/atmosphere! Update that preview though :)
Just..wow. So many incredible pixel projects coming out lately...these are good days for indie.
Don't be shy about submitting a news article for your game. And good luck.
So, without going completely overboard with enthusiasm, here... is there any way I can legally donate my organs in order to fund this game?
Wow... just wow. It's hard to describe how much I love this 
. The backround is amazing, you even got an awesome atmosphere too. That animation where she jumps into the mech is spot on too.... I love this!
damnnn son
