okay so I couldn't live with the game looking so empty and the tiles looking so boring so I've been playing with its colours and style and I'm starting to get somewhere I like (I'm not quite there yet but the change in style has definitely made the environment pop a lot more than it did.)
Sonic being an obvious inspiration for some of the visual puns of this game and the main reason I've made the player run fast, I looked into some sonic tilesheets to see what I could do in terms of a grass tileset, the main inspiration for the current tiles was sonic advance 3's sunset hill tiles, you may be able to make the connection but I've tried to not make it immediately obvious.
tiles in use:
EDIT: updated top pic, removed grass lower tiles, its now just an alt topping for the rock tiles.

I may drop the bottom portion of the grass tile, its not really useful in any specific circumstance and it'd probably look better to have its bottom transition into patterned rock tile anyway. (not to mention it'd leave so much more space for expansions on this and other tilesets.)
