Metal slug pixel graphics were pieces of art
Adam Rodriguez
Since pixel art has become a meme among indie devs, I'm honestly shocked at how few games have even tried to match (or surpass) Metal Slug's level of quality.
Cameron Perez
the noitulove guy tried but gave up halfway through iconoclast development
he has the chops but not the drive

Indie devs do pixel art because it's "easier" without understanding any of the artistry behind pixel art. The whole reason they use it is to get away with low quality graphics, so there's no way in hell they'd spend time learning to do pixel art like that, let alone animated.

Ha ha ha ha! That was hilarious :)
I really liked it when the monkey pulled out his penis instead of the banana. Oops! What a mess up! Ha ha ha Silly monkey :)
Thank you for sharing!

You need actual talent for that
Asher Cooper
You need a team of underpaid slave workers that don't even get credited.

It's not even that hard. The gif in probably uses only around 10 different colors and is fewer than 20 individual frames.

I'm still not sure if the fact some of the best pixel art I've seen in recent years comes from a vore porn game is extremely based or the saddest thing ever
Grayson Myers
If that's your definition of best pixel art then your standards are incredibly low
It's decent, but if that's the example you want to use, then it looks downright amateur compared to something like Owl Boy
Wyatt Lopez
What game is that?
Owen Hernandez
I just watched some gameplay. Wow. You weren't kidding...
Isaiah Thompson
haha
Gavin Scott
Mercenary Kings tried, the problem is the gameplay was shit.

Metal Slug 3
Asher Cox
No amount of sprites could fix this.

I'm still bummed about how that game turned out. They really fucked up by trying to add reloading into a Contra game.

There's a hint of something good there. Unfortunately it's a looting/crafting game and that just ensures the action is boring and repetitive.
Jacob Bell
The gif you posted may be my favorite sprite character ever created. A true masterpiece of the medium. Now excuse me while I play Metal Slug 3 again...
Christopher Harris
Are you sure? The sprite artist wasn't the character artist.
Reloading wasn't the problem at all, the problem was all the fucking grinding and bad level design.
