These pixels, arranged in this order, make me sad. Well done

Lots of people commenting on how it's sad, but my first thought was "it's the anniversary of me killing my mortal enemy. Time to piss on his grave again. Hah!"

Probably... Not what you were going for, but great gif, OP!

At first I thought that was supposed to be a Diglett, and he is watching the sunset with his Diglett friend.

Wow, this is brutal. In a really good way if that makes sense. Great work for evoking such strong emotions.

Brilliant and for me, perfectly timed - it's 12 years ago today we lost my Dad. This hit me right in the feels, like great art should. Well done!

Looks beautiful.

Only thing I will say is may be reduce the animation on the water/sun. It isn't very uniform and some places are static while others move a bit too much.

You should team up with some developers and make retro games. I'd buy!

I hope that my wife makes it to our 46th anniversary in July. She’s not doing so well these days.

My brain went two very different directions, and I’m happy to see that others also heard Little Soldier Boy and saw a Diglett. 😹

Looks like it could have been the intro to an 80s beat-'em-up sidescroller arcade game.

I love the little addition of the seagulls and the slight flap of the trees. You did the sun wonderfully, especially the transition to the night sky. Really good piece. You're quite talented.

I'm gonna think that this was made for the terraria dev who died recently. It probably wasn't but I'm just going to think that it was :)

I’m reminded of Johnny at River’s grave by the lighthouse and the shore in To The Moon, and now I’m melancholy. Truly great game, truly great art.

Replying to KillerRabbitMedia (#2,183,765)

It’s an excellent game. If you’re into charming pixel-art point-and-click games with mystery and melancholy, it’s absolutely worth it. The main scientist characters are quirky, lovable dorks, and are a solid source of levity for how tragic Johnny and River’s story gets. The game also delves a bit into some of the challenges autistic people face when interacting with a neurotypical society. Oh, and that heartrending soundtrack… It’s hard for me to cry over music, but this is one of those rare works that did it for me.

You really should play it sometime 🙂
