Thank you so much for the feedback!
The barrels were indeed an after thought. But when you say they don't fit, you mean:
1. they don't look consistent with the rest of the pixel art or
2. they just appear out of nowhere and don't seem to contribute to the narrative

it's a bit of both honestly, although there isn't much of a narrative other than being generally castle themed (which barrels make sense for), so i guess i just mean the pixel art. everything else uses a very vibrant color palette so it feels a bit out of place when the barrels are very low saturation as they are.
