Getting back into pixel art.
 Struggling with the wood right now. 
 If you got any suggestions or anything to say, I will gladly listen :)

What exactly are you struggling with?
 
 You could perhaps add some texture, but you don't wan't to pop the wood into the foreground too much either. It does however seem rather flat compared to your rock texture there.
 
 You could also try adding an edge to your wood with a highlight tone. Right now, some of the sections seem kind of flat. Judging by how destroyed the wooden structure is, I would expect some fake Z-depth at least in a few place.
 
 Other than that, it looks pretty darn good!

Your wooden beams that support the upper level is well done. Basically you need to take what you did with those beams and apply it to your wooden planks.

Is that just a mocup or an actual ongoing game art? I've got a passion about slow routine gameplay, I could help with programming it!

 Update (or not really an update)
 
 @KingGorillaKong  
 I'll look into it.
 @ggrin 
 Well I want to make a game out of it. But I need to fix the wood first.
 But I'll shoot you a PM nonetheless
 @jal 
 I think there will be a roof over the mine entry or the tunnels might be flooded. :P

This looks great. I can't wait to see those flat planks shaded. They look good even without shading and details.
