Well done!

I am defenitely not dead, and see you are doing good Green!

Can't say  I agree with the choice of games/characters but they're all very well sprited here.

Grats! :D I voted for this one :3

 Hahah cute sprites man, good choices too.

Glad to see Frogatto in there, I was pleasantly surprised to see him. :)

 I was going to make a top 10 indie game list as well! 

Except this would've blown mine away. Everything is so crisp and well done. You definitely earned my vote for this one.

Thanks everyone and good guess :P 

Favorite! :)

Hi kevink, sorry but in the not-zoomed line, the upper line I mean; the characters have one more taller pixel at the foots.   Otherwise another example of great  pure pixelart, fav.

very nice!  

Thanks ska, I was sleeping :P
