Fun! I love the expression on the one falling in the background.

Thanks. The rushed qualities can be seen (like health crate lines are off), but I'm glad you liked it!
In case you didn't know it originated from this picture from my devlog.

Somewhere in that mess of sketches and notes.

wow, that looks cool, actually

Lol, though drawing is like the skill I've levelled up the most (not high, but the most). Thanks!

Nice drawing skills, this pictures are much better than in the game

Sad but true

Heheh, but that's how game art is for covers most of the time (mostly 2D games)





->

(Could only find old games, but some new ones do it too)

But that's kind of not an excuse . And as I said, I've levelled up my drawing skillz but I still need to level up my game design skills more.

Stay tuned! The Game will get BETTER

About every ZX81 game suffered from this. One blatant example: http://www.zx81stuff.org.uk/zx81/tape/FantasyGames

(compare the screenshots with the cover)

Yeah, but they're really old to be fair (even the ones I posted above)

Though...

even in relatively new games like Celeste.The game is fire. The pixel art is cool. The cover art is appropriate, but it's not *the* game. 2D Pixel art games fall for this the most.

Though some pixel art covers stay true.
