Did you work in a team?
Just me having a learning experience with pixel art!

Was the resolution a challenge?
Absolutely! Unity's physics and camera did not play nicely with the giant pixels so I had to create a system to update objects' models separately from their physical representation and update the camera at the end of each frame according to the resolution.

What did you learn?
I learned a ton about Unity, pixel art, and the amount of work and asset creation that goes into even a simple pixel art game!

Not much of a game to rate here, but you have a solid start to work on something. Let’s see where you can bring this in the future!

Nice little demo.

The concept for the game you have in mind sounds good, I hope you keep going with it!

Developer

Thanks!  I totally plan on it because I really fell in love with the idea!

Hi atgearge!
Good luck with your grand idea!

Sorry for this unsolicited feedback, but maybe you want to take a look at Godot Engine.

I don't know about Unity and if there is any workaround to those issues with physics.
AFAIK Godot physics doesn't have any problem dealing with physics in low resolutions games.

Thank you!  I actually did consider Godot for this!  I installed it very recently and am still super new to it, but would like to get to a point where I'm using it for all my 2D game ideas!
