Thanks so much to all who took the time to vote and participate in the challenge!

Underground city? Pipelines and concrete blocks come to mind!

Count me in,    Damn i love Making Tiles, And also suck at it.

Yes. It can be any kind of game since it fit the rules.

Well,  maybe it Helps to be less repeptitive,  But it IS NOT in the rules,  thus making it Valid  + Acceptable.

Tiles can provide a grid that helps to give scale as well as a way to reduce the used memory for graphics. Maybe this challenge doesn't have restrictions on tile count, but there's always that secondary or tertiary (or even quaternary, eeps!) goal of achieving your intended results with as few tiles as possible. It's similar to the question of "If the monitor can display 16,777,216 colors why shouldn't I use them all?"

Well that looks pretty good HMC, but it kinda looks like a creature is climbing out and is so bid its blocking some of the light. Also, When the rules says

The second one.

Oh hey, man. What's goin' on?

Badassbill Pwnzorz-zorz. Also, I may enter. Mainly because I watched TMNT last night at my friends house. :V

Dont, worry, i got it

i have a question, tittle 2d like what game??.... like zelda? top view?? or like mario "front" view or boths???, thats all

does someone know where i can download the SNES palette sample?

im gonna snag that pallette also...I know its not technically yours but thanks anyways. 

it's tru. technically, the SNES palette can support 256 colors

Color Capability: 15-bit color depth (RGB555) for a total of 32,768 possible colors.

• Palette: 256 entries
• Maximum colors per background layer per scanline: 256
• Maximum colors per sprite: 16 (color 0 is always transparent)
• Maximum colors on-screen: 4,096 without blending and 32,768 using the color arithmetic circuitry for transparency effects by blending multiple backgrounds together.

Source: wikipedia

then i figured how to set the palette: as easy as reduce the color depth of my psp7 from 16millon(24bit) to 256colors(8bit).

if needed, i can upload the palette file so others can use it.

I'm also in for this :) First time participating, and actualy already finished...
It's soon in the gallery 

And at the moment, looks like you're going to take 1st, 2nd and 3rd!!

There's 2 already in the gallery :/

I wanted to participate in this, since I really like making game mockups. Sadly I'm sick for week now so I only got to make a quick sketch:

Adam, that would have looked fantastic had you finished it :( the outlines already do!
