Same color just larger. Also has the lighter shade of blue on the top right corner.

And before anyone else noticed I made sure that the G was facing the right way when running left. Though I haven't uploaded that part yet.

Well I could improve it I guess. But the original didn't have him turn that much to the foreground. I think my problem is just moving the nose around.

Haven't done a lot of recent work on the character sprites. But here's all my work so far on the project.

Shiny. :drool The slug room mock up, especially. Not to be begging Keen emotikeen-ish, but I'm looking forward to more.

this is really cool, my only complaint is that i don't really like the way the soda looks, but then again, I never liked it to start with :P

regardless, I can't wait to see more of this.
Combine Garg and Apples in a bowl, simmer over medium heat for several years. Season with a pinch of regret.

It would be awesome if the unused tiles from the keen 4 demo were remastered too, for a full-blown keen 4 remix edition. :)

Wow, the new screens look great! Especially the last one.

Or, as GLaDOS would say:

"I've redrawn the next level chamber and it looks pre-tty good!"

Progress is slow as the game has a lot of art in it, including character sprites and backgrounds and level objects. Although I haven't worked much on it recently.
