4th week out of four Pixelween 2022 challenges, a contest with prizes, starts now.
Ghostly tricksters had different idea to confuse and scare you. This time they turn all their wicked deeds upside down, take away all the colours left in our vampiric palette, and leave all the colours they took before. You will be using all 8 colours previously voted out on discord, and none of the 8 colours we were using last week.
The topic of the 4th week is "Game Over", and that includes any possible way of ending a game, a run in a game, a main story in a game, or any other circumstances that makes you start over or load a save, or rage quit, or simply, turn off a finished game. You can make a mockup of your game in the moment of death of the player, or loosing all the lives, hearts, tries, etc, with a classic "game over" writing, or go for a more fancy death screen, or a still of a death animation. You can paint an end game screen, or a part of a clipshow expalining all the outcomes of player's choices, or a still of an ending game animation, or even ending credits with concept art showoff. There are countless ways of ending a video game and if none of known to you are satisfying you can even invent a new one. The one thing that have to be clear about it is that this is the end.
Technical requirements for this week:
Canvas Size - exactly 160 (horizontal) x 90 (vertical) pixels.
Colors - Max 8 only colors from the palette below:
Transparency - No.
Animation - No.

Welcome to the third challenge out of four Pixelween 2022 challenges, a contest with prizes.
Malicious ghosts of the Halloween striked again and snatched another four colors of our vampiric palette.
This time, you will be focusing on a main/final boss of the game. It can be a gameplay screen of a boss fight, a mockup of a boss level, a boss introduction cutscene, a boss battle cinematic or a boss death scene still, in your original thriller video game. If you also participated last week's challenge, you are supposed to somehow continue the same game concept (of course change of ideas are welcome). If this is your first week, you can start with a fresh idea here.
Technical requirements for this week:
Canvas Size - exactly 160 (horizontal) x 90 (vertical) pixels.
