Is this inspired by nitrome's latest icebreaker game?

I love the dithering!

Great choice of palette! Hard to believe it's only 13 colors.

Mahoop (Level 1 Rookie) @ 2/12/2016 11:05

Simple and beautiful

gablp30stm (Level 4 Deputy) @ 7/16/2015 06:47

Your water so beautiful, it's hard to do it feel like water actually lol

DonDidDon (Level 1 Gangster) @ 1/19/2015 13:21

This made me go play "Lost vikings" :P

BathMaster_2000 (Level 5 Assistant Manager) @ 11/12/2014 05:08

This reminds me of Where's Waldo for some reason. It looks great!

Daruda (Level 4 Button Man) @ 7/22/2014 16:39

Somehow I like more the old version, it's more light and gives less depth, but I like that more cartoon style.

Hellraiser (Level 1 Rookie) @ 7/15/2014 02:00

So cool.

Chotara (Level 1 Depressed) @ 5/23/2014 02:10

This looks just amazing, I can't believe it's only 13 colors :D

Incredible. I'm a big fan of this piece.

Phexion (Level 5 Detective) @ 11/27/2013 09:37

This has some fun imagery going on. I specifically like how you done the water and how it fades off into the background.
