It would've been nice if the boot would rotate like the cinder block and ladder. It's looking somewhat stiff right now. :P
I can't seem to finish my challenge entry... I'm forfeiting this week, but I'll submit what I have tomorrow.

Don't give up Robinhood, try and submit what you got, since you put in the effort. We can help you work on it throughout next week :)

Slow and steady

Well, I've been working really hard these last few days, tweaking and tweaking and tweaking and I think I'm finally done with my mech. I was told on another section of the forum that my mech wasn't eligible for the contest because it didn't have a cockpit. I added one now, and so if there's anything else wrong with it, please tell me now, as there is still a small bit of time left in the contest that I can fix it. I don't know if there's someone who decides if a piece is accepted into the contest or not, but if there is, please give me an ok so I don't have to refresh this page every 5 seconds. lol Otherwise I'm pretty much done. Enjoy!

Max amount of frames is 16... :c
You could remove the shaking frames in between and add a longer frame delay.

Pickles, niiiice. Makes me feel dizzy just watching him try to balance. Great job with the lighting too.

HCGamer, you happen to be the same hardcoregamer from toucharcade? If so, glad to see some of the people I referred here are actually here ;)

@a3um

>I feel sorry for the pilot

The DethBun 5000 comes equipped with antigravity inertial suppressor, uh, thingies. Makes for a very smooth ride. Also, it's got roll bars. The pilot is actually relaxing in comfort and style. Relative comfort and style, anyway. Relative to the driver of the stomped-on car...

Okay, here's a more polished version of the DethBun 5000. The pilot is wreaking a terrible vengeance upon the drivers of those orange cars, who probably deserve it just for their poor color sense, and who apparently have their own lane on this freeway. That's all the information that's available at this time.

Well I'm finally finished with my mech. I posted all of the different versions because I spent a couple of hous making extra ones and wanted them to at least see the light of day, plus it's awesome cuz it looks like they're playing follow the leader, but overall I'm entering Robot Mech #2! Enjoy!

I looked and my sprite wasn't there to vote for. I followed all of the rules, spent 30+ hours on my sprite, and even asked that if there's anything still wrong with it for someone to tell me and no one did! Help! All I wanted was a participation ribbon.

EDIT: I looked and realize now that I forgot to submit my entry and that putting it here doesn't mean it's officially entered. This is my first contest so I didn't realize. Please could you put it in for voting just this once, it probably wouldn't come in one of the top three places at this point or at all but I really want that participation ribbon. Thanks.

I'm sure they would, but unfortunately it isn't possible to add an entry retroactively due to the way the site is programmed. We all know the time and effort you put in, so don't sweat the lack of ribbon. It's really about getting excited about pixelart, in the end.
My sympathies, though, that is frustrating.

Good thing there is always the next one!

Well is there a way to give a participation ribbon after voting is over? I know I wouldn't win anyway so it really doesn't matter if I'm up for voting. Or would it go against the programming to give ribbons to people who weren't in voting. lol
