[Environmental][Small/Medium?] Silly World

I'm making another weird environmental level for KS. All custom graphics, all custom music. I hope to release it sometime during the summer. Here's a screenshot!

Yay for minimalistic monochromatic goodness! :D

Looks interesting. Can't wait to try it.
Some KS levels by me:

I love the graphical style.

Thanks for the encouragement! I'm still unsure if I want the entire world to be the way it is on the screenshot, but anyway, that's what is getting done right now.

I have to say it has potential, but there is not enough here for me to go gaga... yet.

Well, so far I've continued working on the black and white tileset and made a few music tracks. I think the level is going to have at least two different areas, and I want to make it particularly silly in a way never before seen in KS levels! (Or so I think, anyway.)

Looks like it would go well with 8-bit music.

Well, the music isn't classic 8-bit (I thought the rough sound would clash with the more polished visuals), but somewhat inspired by classic 8-bit stuff.

Just reporting that some progress has been made, although I have little time for KS right  now and it's scorching hot here (35-40 degrees Celsius >() anyway, can't do much work. Here's a screenshot of the the same area posted before in its current state. I'd welcome opinions as to whether the background is believable - I suck at drawing and may have screwed up in some basic way  :crazy: I'm thinking of maybe moving the foreground waterfall to the left...

Yeah, the waterfall is dead center, which doesn't quite look right.

I don't see a thing wrong with the drawing.  It is a great combination of playful and mechanical.

Thanks! I actually didn't notice the waterfall was dead center :oops:, I only noticed the background one kind of flowed into it and it didn't look good... I'll move it somewhere.

Generally speaking, I like the background. But, yeah, move the waterfall a bit. :-)
