An old fashioned tileset, but I like the mountain shadows, the sprites are nice and colorful, and you were the only entrant to include a subscreen (a rather nice one, at that).
Solidly designed, and looks quite playable.
MoscowModder:
I know that your screen probably uses one of the palettes I created, but used in this way it just looks kind of... dull. The tiles you are using seem indicate a regular overworld, and yet the palette is very dark and drab. Why are you using this particular palette here?
Also, while I'm glad that you seen to understand DoR mountain tiles, I kinda wonder whether it might be possible to do something more interesting with them on this screen.
ZeeLiam:
This screen is way too busy. I know it looks detailed, but when I look at it, I can't help but imagine how un-fun it must be to play the screen. There are places where the walk flags are so tight that the player would have to zig-zag constantly in order to wiggle through the cracks -- for instance, squeezing around those tall trees. It's no fun to see a detailed screen if it is no fun to play.
So anyway, you've got some advanced Classic techniques going here, but you're abusing some of them. Probably best to scale back and make it more playable and less busy.
In the end, Koh got my vote.
