Why are the colors so limited? Don't we have 25 to work with? Also the house is squished vertically. How can I help to fix that?

It is the Editor,which is limited.I can use 4 colours for each object,but i can use only available colours

in several areas......do not care....just draw and i try,what is possible ?

I see. So is this placement just temporary? Are the colors temporary? Because the house is floating in the air right now. Can we get the house looking more like this, and not so flat? Let me know what I can do on my end to give you what you need to make it work....

I drawed the house like yours,but the editor edits it

somehow different......to let it look not so flat....i need more tiles,which i do not have.....but i can live with that.The house looks ok for me.Unfortunately

i cannot do the right colours.....Let us do the whole

thing and then we try to change colours somehow.

Just a Hint.....try to use the Bentley editor and you 

learn the rules......

have a look at my Asterix hack and you see,what can be done.....just try to do some graphics and i

will do my best to use them in the game.

If I give you two pieces for the house, can it be taller?

If you give two pieces....i need more tiles and the 

tiles i can use are limited for each level.....i give an example....for level 1....stage 1-8..... i have different tiles.....some of them...i can walk through

some of them are visible.....some of them are used

for the exit of each stage......the bigger an object is,

the less tiles i have for the rest of the level.....so,if

i use a bigger house,this would double my amount

of tiles and reduce the tiles at other objects......so

let us do the best,with the things,we have.I am sure

we can do a reasonable game.

So please try to create a bush or a rock in 16x16

and i need some mor enemies.Tomorrow,i try to get the house taller ?

I would just suggest to consider the real pixel aspect ratio so that, as far as possible, this graphics do not look wide on real hardware. And again, I think a good compromise is 16 horizontal x 32 vertical (the same height as the arcade version).
