And that's mainly what I have trouble with right now.

I'd say change up the object's or player's palettes or give the character a more darker outline. I tried darkening the blonde selout to the other colors used but it still looked bad.

I'd say the walk cycle on your character lacks a bit of bounce

apart from that, looks very solid

yeah man i can't help you with the sprite issue but damn that looks insanely good
