What counts as "minimal"?

Hello! I'd like to ask about what exactly counts as "minimal pixel-art" in this case, because it is a very broad term. I've looked at Nira and I can definitely see the minimalism in its art direction but there are different degrees of minimalism. Here's one of the assets someone on our team made, and we would like to hear from the organizers if this counts as minimal or not:


This image is only using 5 colors, which we consider to be minimalist, but we're not sure if it's too detailed compared to what the organizers were expecting in terms of minimalist pixel-art. Thank you in advance!

Nice, Makhor -- looks pretty minimal to us! We're open to all interpretations as for what makes a game "minimal" with regards to its art style, but for this jam, definitely consider that less is more!
