bro
if it's supposed to be in a certain style, stick to the style. it's not being a "slave" to the style, it's to make stuff fit in and not look stupid because it's an unnecessary distraction. It's not "more appealing" this way and even if your client is satisfied, you could be bothered to go the extra mile because it could be even better. And no offense, but sprites inc. doesn't exactly have the greatest spriters to be listening to. If only 1/2 sites are happy with it, you should at least TRY to get a different result and see where it leads you. Seriously, if you won't even TRY to see what would happen if you took our advice (which is coming from multiple people, so expect your audience to notice too; it's not a coincidence) then there's no point even asking
And I'm just gonna go ahead and take this moment to say why listening to artists tell you that you're a-okay can often be a mistake. When you talk to say, your friend, who just directed a movie, you're probably gonna sugarcoat how you feel about it. Because you know they worked hard on it and you want them to be happy about it. But if you don't know them, and you watch the screening for the first time, are you gonna care how they feel? Do you go to the theater and say, hmm, this movie is really boring and the CGI sucks but...well I know they worked hard on it so I'll try really hard to be satisfied! No, you don't. You say wow, this movie was a waste of my money. You can't always put your full trust in people saying "no, it's fine!!" because things can always be better and your audience as a whole isn't going to be so kind as to just ignore your faults. I'm not saying they're liars. Maybe they just legitimately haven't noticed, or maybe they're just less sensitive to your faults. But that doesn't mean that since it's okay to them, it's time to disregard all others.
