Good job, you really succeeded, it feels like an explosion of fun

Really cool, are you working on a game?

I love it, really nice. What inspired this style?

Thanks so much tobikohiro! I used the pixeljoint tool and apparently I have 38 colors. It's definitely too many, I'll rework it to limit the pallette.   

And thanks for the suggestion! I agree it should have something else in the background, after all. Filling out backgrounds is something I struggle with a lot, I've noticed. Perhaps I'm too lazy to commit to put something worthwhile into them.
