Regardless of color count related issues this is just FANTASTIC sprite in motion and (despite of small portion of it displayed) also a game scene with great atmosphere! I would love to see the next Metroid or Turrican remake or a followup with graphics like this, well done.

Very good! It was really an interesting learning experience, I had to better understand this type of analysis and the tools that help with correction, such as Replace Color .:star:

Hey, no problem! Looks much better now in color count. ^^/

Cool! I need to improve my control over the color count. I was careful with the character, but I messed up the background and fx. 

I removed and optimized more now; the count was reduced from nearly 3,000 colors to about 490. I'll be optimizing further soon, grouping colors better <3

Edit: I finished, doing 16 colors to the character and 16 to the environment (32 colors total)

This does look great, however due to some of the effects it's drastically blowing the color count up. I don't know if there'd be something you could do to minimize them, but I don't think we can realistically add this as it is atm with almost 3k colors.
