This week we all are making an imaginary game about nuts, and we need enemies.

Make an animated sprite of an anthropomorfic or zoomorfic nut as an enemy in a game with side view (side-scrolling, platformer, metroidvania, etc).

Animation is entirely up to you. It can be 2 frame idle, 6 frame walk cycle, 20 frame attack sequence.

We accept all nuts in culinary sense, so dig the wiki if you want to go fancy, but here is the list of the most common ones:

Acorn, Almonds, Brazil nuts, Cashews, Chestnuts, Coconut, Hazelnuts, Macadamia, Peanut, Pecan, Pine nuts, Pistachio, Soybean, Walnut.
 

Canvas Size - Max 100-100.

Colors - Max 10 (9 + transparency).

Transparency - Required.

Animation - Required.



 

The challenge thread will have all the challenge updates. The thread is also a great place to post your WIPs.

Depict a family of any type of a real-world animal besides humans. It needs at least one parent and at least one child. Transparency is required but the sprites do not need to be separate (you can draw a parent holding the young in their mouth, on their back, hugging it etc. but draving them as separate sprites is also allowed).

You have to use the Heart Gem palette by danica_cecile.

"Star Wars: Yoda Stories" is a game released on PC in 1997. It was a simple but lovely desktop game offering short playthroughs of random missions given to Luke by Master Yoda during the Dagobah training. It included visiting various planets of ice, forest and desert biomes, and meeting many OT characters, fighting enemies like stormtroopers and solving puzzles.

This week we are going to try to emulate the style of Yoda Stories in a mockup of an imaginary Star Wars game which could be a DLC or a sequel/prequel to Yoda Stories or a different game made in the same engine, or just a very similar one.

Make a mockup of a game that looks like Yoda Stories and is based on events and characters from any Star Wars movie, series, other video games, books, graphic novels.

Rules:

1) Canvas = 288x288 resolution and 32x32 tile grid (9x9 tiles).

2) Top down perspective.

3) Any Star Wars character as protagonist.

4) At least one tile featuring Star Wars character NPC, enemy, animal, monster, droid, wehicle, item, or piece of environment, or any recognisable thing.

5) Items, animals, wehicles, monsters etc. can be bigger than one tile, but must allign with the grid.

6) Dialogue boxes are allowed.

Actual tileset and sprites from the game can be found here or here. Use them for referrence or inspiration.


Example screenshots from the game:

Canvas Size - exactly 288x288.
Colours - unrestricted.
Transparency - no.
Animation - no.
