This is the weirdest preview for a pixel so far this year >.<
good start for a mockup!
As for the explosion - I think it could either work as an explosion or cloud, I think the problem is that there's no context as to why the explosion is there. Is it the player? The shadow of the explosion also looks more rushed and is only using one color.
I think it's good to practice what you mentioned in the description, but as a game mockup, you need to consider how all these elements come together. What kind of game is it? What purpose do the large square platforms have? You don't have figure out all the precise details, but there has to be enough for people to have a general idea of what it is.
Hope that helps!
Thank you Drazile for commenting. The shape you reffer to was intended to be an explosion, but it does have too little contrast and indeed looks cloud-like. I may take another pass at it and try to make it better, would you have any suggestions on how I can improve it.
Nice water effect and the cubes are well pixelled.
The explosion does look weird indeed.
