Ah yes, blobby pixelart with too many small details and dark colors so everything is some hideous cacophony of blocks.

Pixelart really never looked so loving hideous in actual old games.
Unless it was like Atari 2600.

I dunno I thought that these games all managed to convey a lot of personality and elegance with very simple shapes.

Oh thank God I thought I was the only one.
It looks beautiful though.

Also: Dungeon of the Endless and Deep Dungeons of Doom have some great art and animation and DDoD is very fun. DoE I'm still working on but don't have the time to get very good at.

Dungeon of the Endless is really loving hard. Either that or I'm bad at video games
