Weird, I totally thought it was the opposite. I must have gotten the wrong idea somewhere or misremembered something. But just looking up some screenshots of well known 2d games, your advice seems to match up. I kind of didn't feel great about the graphical style overall and want to try something a bit different for the full version, so assets are going to get redone anyway. At least everything but the dog, which got the most time and I'd like to make a few tweaks too without scrapping entirely.
