Hmm, the first one didn't seem so bad to me either.  If anything, the second one's hair feels to me like maybe it's moving a bit much for a leisurely walk, and together with the apparently faster animation cycle, it almost feels like the second lemming is running rather than walking.  Still, both are way better than anything I could put together, so keep it up!

Thank you! I guess the additional frames per second contributes to the effect! As for the hair, I just wanted it to feel cartoony, kind of like the early sprites:

Yeah, I figured that the handling of physics and terrain destruction wouldn't play nice with the features I mentioned. And I'm not saying that you can't do anything nice with pixel art, mind you. It's just that my heart still yearns for a proper HD Lemmings game on the PC.

Hello all! Before anything, I feel like I should introduce myself. I'm Voxy, a 20 year old aspiring UI and webdesigner from Belgium. I have fond memories of Lemmings, back when I'd play it for hours on end on my sister's PSP. The recent mobile released brought those back, though I (just like a lot of you, I assume) was very disappointed by the way it was handled.

Buuut, if there's one thing I like about this game, it's the art style. I just like it a ton, it feels like a modern take on the Amiga graphics, and while the actual level assets are kinda generic, the promotional artwork makes me wish there was a fan engine that actually supports high-definition graphics so that we could get a game that'd look as good. <3

Anyways, enough rambling. As you can probably tell, all that inspired me to open Photoshop and get drawing for a few hours. It ended up being a mixture of the new style and the Team 17 one, but I think it turned out great. I did rush the cliffside because it was awfully late and I really wanted to finish this piece, but it does the job. Hope you'll like it!
