I'll be making a whole set of probably around 7-10 tiles. ~ JJ EDIT: Altered the tiles a bit and added the endcaps. ~ JJ Edited by JJ_Maxx

	I like these tiles, but think that the colors are too deep and not "icy" enough. JJMaxx does great work so it will end up great.

	I like the icier one best. I say yay to that. Yeah. On a slightly different note: will the player be constantly sliding in this level? I'd love to see PJ runs his legs off trying to escape a giant penguin but not going anywhere.

	Well, if we go with this type of 'sheeted' tile, I'm gonna have to make an extra tile to add underneth these tiles when they are in the air. Like this: Not sure how kwigbo could work it, but the top tile would be solid, and the bottom tile would be non-solid, foreground tiles, so when PJ jumps up into them, he'll go behind them and bump his head on the first tile. ~ JJ Edited by JJ_Maxx

	Thanks blink. I didn't like how textured the top layer of snow was on those tiles so I smoothed it out and I think it looks better. A pixel artist is a constant tinkerer. ~ JJ

	Yes they are... But I blame the medium. JJ... I am profoundly amazed are your Ice tiles. I have to ask what brought you to that design? I sat and thought about Ice Tile designs, but I couldn't even figure out where to start. Did you use a reference? Had you seen something like this before...? I gotta know...

	I really just used the pictures in my head to design them. Started with the frozen ground, then added the snow and icicles. (And you can see the trial and error in this thread.) But I've always been partial to snow and ice. I made alot of ice peices for my Maxx Bloxx project. I dunno, sometimes you sit down and things click, and sometimes you close without saving and walk away. ~ JJ

	JJ-Maxx... "Never good enough for you, is it Jalonso? " Your stuff is always awesome! On topic, if you tried somewhere between the second and third I would think it a better direction because, the first two and the previous versions lean too heavily to the blue. I do think it should be a blue pallete, but an icy/minty blue. Keep in mind that there is Shark's world were blue will surely dominate (two blue worlds .

	Good point about the blue, Jalonso. I would like somewhere between 2 and 3 aswell. Also keep in mind how the mountainous background will affect the world's look.

	2/3 combination. i also think a red orange sunset bg that was mentioned will look uber cool :D Sharks Ocean world will be highly blue, however i was thinking the tiles will be sand coloured and only bg will be blue. they will look totally different if these tiles tend towards number 2&3 with the greys and desaturated blues.

	idisagree. adding a sunlight background over the ice caps.. clear sky with no clouds.. andit reflecting of the cie is a good way toshow. 1. how slippery the cie is and 2. how cold it is. clear skies i think pjs should breath steam :D

	I'm picking the middle one, it's the most atmospheric and will add to the tention when the player finds out he's fighting killer penguins in friggin' tanks. And seeing as Shark's level has him swimming with snorkles, i think having PJ with a coat and icy breath would be awesome. He could maybe have a blue hue to him, and icicles on his teeth. Oh wait, i'm getting carried away.

	By the way, these tiles I made belong to the project, so the regular rules and guidelines don't apply. Feel free to take them and edit them, fix them, re-color them but FOR THE PJ GAME ONLY. I would also like to see some other people start slapping some stuff up here as well. C'mon, they're only tiles. 90% of the members on here are better than me! ~ JJ

	Sharks world is alot more colourful and non-blue than originally thought, so i think this world should be scarily blue and white. For example, have the sun a huge pale disk, because i think, although orange would look nice, it would ruin the cold theme. If it was done well enough (which im sure it will) it could look fantastic. And randomblink, dya mean like goombas? Would they pop!? Aaah, i must hold myself back from making little cute popping penguins...

	For the ice level, some serious sliding would be fun? .. That requires couple of special tiles. And here's the template for it. It contains about 10 different tiles, but don't think about the tiles, just draw on the template however you like..
