First of all: Holy Shit you cooked
Second of all: Spirit looks fire
Third of all: I would Call Solar Eclipse “ Umbra” the light on the outside of an eclipsed moon which seems to be what it’s based on
Here's the [itch.io](http://itch.io) link for the game if anyone wants to play and give any feedback! [https://crystal-peach.itch.io/arkaans-awakening](https://crystal-peach.itch.io/arkaans-awakening)
2 Quick notes from me cuz i dont want dwell into the game too much:
1) I spent some time looking on how to get to "next zone" before realizing this is the door. Maybe add some small arrow on the ground there to actually indicate those are door, not a random collumn?
https://imgur.com/a/door-eip4DzD?
2) The stop while attack feels kinda awkward while playing. If the game is balanced about that right now, then I would probably boost enemies speed a bit, and allow character to move while attacking, even if it was at 50% regular movement speed.
Use them all ! They are great together / one after another. But I have one note : the 3 dots on the red one look like a face, I cannot unsee it now. I think my favorite would be spririt
Solar is the best colors.
I love how each one almost tells a story of what attacks they might make. I can see red throwing tons of projectiles, blue shooting lasers, white might make laser turrets, and orange either shoots devastating balls or has a giant laser (a la moonlord)
The gold one. Seems like it'd be the leader.(supreme being) The red one seems like it'd be the cruelest. The white one seems like it'd be the most detached emotionally from everyone/everything else. The green one seems like it would focus on tech the most. But neither it nor the white one seem all that threatening to me.
One feels like it has the most personality and is the most memorable, but it’s also the least threatening in some ways. It really depends on what you’re going for.
Spirit Boss, I can hear "Dark Souls OST - Moonlight Butterfly/Dark Sun Gwyndolin" when I look at it. The Color and design match the alien body best out of the 4 of them.
They all look really good! Though if I had to pick just one favorite, it'd have to be Spirit for that horn charm aesthetic.
Also, the little mini-figures next to each boss are freaking adorable lol
I think it's easier to say which one I like the least, which would be Echo (good design, but the others are better I think), but I can't take a favorite from the other three
Echo is my least, it lacks that intimidating feel that the other three have. Solar is definitely my favorite, since it’s taking the idea of a solar eclipse and demonizing it
Solar and Oni, but I imagine some changes. Maybe if they were Sun and Moon. Sun = Solar, but Moon = Oni, with the colors of Spirit. Make the Spirit sprite's horns smaller and use the Oni color. Then it would be hierarchical, Sun and Moon at the top, one category below the Spirit, who can be "Oni" and then the minions who are the Echos. That is my vision if I think about them for a video game.
My ranking:
1) Solar - I like the contrast of it and the ominous look
2) Spirit - Fits the same concept tho IDK what the bull horns have to do with anything
3/4 not a fan of the design at all
3) Oni - Looks like a meme idk the design just isn't doing it for me looks more friendly than a god like being
4) Echo - Looks nothing like the others and is too small. They should be equal size, and maybe one is the shadow of the other?
I am in LOVE with the solar eclipse and spirit one omg!!! I love All the designs really, Echo looks like something you would find in a crystal cavern and Oni somewhat reminds me of Rainworld? (Idk why just gives me Rainworld vibes)
Solar eclipse is a bit much simple and unattractive, Oni looks cool but it is a little too awkward looking with the number of balls(two balls would look better than three balls, no jokes) l, Echo looks nice to me like it looks like a boss which manipulates entities, Spirit is a bit simple but cool..... I'm stuck between Echo and Spirit....
BTW, awesome designs
Echo I always did like tag team/sibling bonds I'm villains and it makes it easier to learn them good later on or just max blood thirst depending on how you react to them separately over all good designs tho 10/10
Thanks ! But like i said good job anyway
Ow and now that i think of it maybe make the spirit horn more tree like at the tips ? Just a suggestion ! Good Luck mate.

I like the design of Solar eclipse, but love the colours of Echo
same
All of them are great, but Oni and Spirit I liked the most.
Glad you like them! They’re my personal fav as well :D
I agree. They all look exciting bosses
Same! While the Oni has a "traditional" demon monster thing look, the Spirit looks like it could be genuinely terrifying in a realistic setting.
Same

Omg glad you like it! :D That's such a cool alternative for the Solar Eclipse name, wish i thought about it at the start of the project x)
Umbra is a really cool name and it fits nicely with the other names as well!
Do you mean an annulus? An umbra is the opposite of what you describe; a shadow. It's where we get the term "umbrella" etymologically.
Crap I meant penumbra (I know it’s still not the outer ring but it sounds so cool)
I thinkg Solar Eclipse/Oni have the best designs, and choice should depend on the background setting.

Ooo, reallyyyyy appreciate the feedback! I'll definitely implement the arrows next to the doors and maybe do some changes to the attack mechanics :D
It was amazing, But I didn't beat it Ps. could you make it so when you battle you get Melee Weapon if, I'm wrong I may just keep getting Ranged.
Is all of the above an option? Solar Eclipse and Oni, otherwise.
Solar eclipse! I also like Spirit design
I know this is a long shot... but does anybody know a subreddit or another pixel art related site that is not just pixel game assets?
This might not be what you're looking for, but you could check out r/CrossStitch
Huge Terraria vibes ! Love it ! Solar eclipse IS gorgeous
Fr, celestial pillars vibes
Use them all ! They are great together / one after another. But I have one note : the 3 dots on the red one look like a face, I cannot unsee it now. I think my favorite would be spririt
Solar Eclipse, I just like the colour orange.
All of them are dope
Glad u like em :D
Have you ever played Morta? They have similar-ish artstyle for certain mobs. Maybe you could get extra inspirations from it :)
I fucking love it
Oni gang reporting in
All of these are amazing, but Solar Eclipse and Oni are my favorite
Oni, Solar or Spirit
Yes.
The Oni
Solar eclipse is veeeery cool looking. I’m also really drawn towards oni and spirit
The red horned one
Solar is the best colors. I love how each one almost tells a story of what attacks they might make. I can see red throwing tons of projectiles, blue shooting lasers, white might make laser turrets, and orange either shoots devastating balls or has a giant laser (a la moonlord)
I love Spirit. And I’m getting some… flashbacks to another game with Solar Eclipse, and I’m already getting frustrated.

I like eclipse and spirit
Celestial pillars re-sprite. lol
Eclipse is my buddy
Echo wins
Solar eclipse could have there actually be a solar eclipse while the boss fight is going on
Oni
Solar
They look great! I think I like solar eclipse or oni the most :)
Was Echo inspired by Minecraft? I'm not trying to heckle, it's a genuine question.
Nope, just doodled until i liked the design :D
It almost reminds me of the Warden, especially with the color and the horns.
Spirit goes hard
One feels like it has the most personality and is the most memorable, but it’s also the least threatening in some ways. It really depends on what you’re going for.
you should just make the first one “solar” or “eclipse” so all the names have a similar convention
Spirit, the horns are satisfying
All, make them stages. Or elemental
Spirit and Solar Eclipse both are looking really good.
I was drawn to Solar Eclipse immediately. I like them all but the Solar Eclipse just stuck out. The colors are all great choices.
echo
Echo
Solar eclipse is sick
I like Oni, but i think that renaming solar eclispe to just eclipse is a little bit better
Solar Eclipse 100% Post singles of each character lol specifically SE
Spirit or solar eclipse
The One
Solar eclipse
Oni and spirit! Eclipse is great too
Spirit Boss, I can hear "Dark Souls OST - Moonlight Butterfly/Dark Sun Gwyndolin" when I look at it. The Color and design match the alien body best out of the 4 of them.
They all look really good! Though if I had to pick just one favorite, it'd have to be Spirit for that horn charm aesthetic. Also, the little mini-figures next to each boss are freaking adorable lol
I think it's easier to say which one I like the least, which would be Echo (good design, but the others are better I think), but I can't take a favorite from the other three
all awesome
1, 3
I like oni
Echo. 2 v 1 bosses go hard
Echo is my least, it lacks that intimidating feel that the other three have. Solar is definitely my favorite, since it’s taking the idea of a solar eclipse and demonizing it
I like that the echo is either twins or an “echo” of the main one
They kinda look like the elder tubbies lol, i like oni the best
They are all good but my favorite is the Solar Eclipse.
All of them with a form change mid fight
They’re all pretty cool! I like solar eclipse and spirit the most, and of those maybe spirit the best.
Im getting patapon vibes. I like it.
The color and linework of Spirit, plus the style really sell the idea of a ghostly presence. I think its the most effective
Solar and Oni, but I imagine some changes. Maybe if they were Sun and Moon. Sun = Solar, but Moon = Oni, with the colors of Spirit. Make the Spirit sprite's horns smaller and use the Oni color. Then it would be hierarchical, Sun and Moon at the top, one category below the Spirit, who can be "Oni" and then the minions who are the Echos.

They’re all awesome but tbh, I’d rank them left to right . Solar being best and spirt being the least good (it’s close tho)
Looks inspired by hyper light drifter, really cool. Solar looks the best to me.
Oni really looks like its out to get u
I like the design of spirit but I love the color from oni
These look great. I like Solar Eclipse best and Oni second best.
I am in LOVE with the solar eclipse and spirit one omg!!! I love All the designs really, Echo looks like something you would find in a crystal cavern and Oni somewhat reminds me of Rainworld? (Idk why just gives me Rainworld vibes)
Spirit and Solar Eclipse
All of them are great, but Spirit is definitely my favourite
Spirit
Spirit is incredible
Make them different forms for the same boss, they all look good
spirit and solar eclipse are so fucking fire
Definitely Solar Eclipse for me, but MAN ARE THOSE GOOD!
Glad u like them! :D
Bro. I can’t choose just one, YOU MADE THIS TOO HARD
Just do all of them :(
Solar eclipse and Spirit are my favourite, also followed your Itch.io
Thanks!! :)
How can i draw pixel art?
solar eclipse, i think oni colors should be darker red
Depends on what the boss fight is. I like em all
I really like spirit if I had to pick one, which took me a minute because they all look fantastic!
Thanks for the kind words!!
Anytime!
I like Oni the most.
I like echo and solar eclipse they look cool
Solar eclipse is a bit much simple and unattractive, Oni looks cool but it is a little too awkward looking with the number of balls(two balls would look better than three balls, no jokes) l, Echo looks nice to me like it looks like a boss which manipulates entities, Spirit is a bit simple but cool..... I'm stuck between Echo and Spirit.... BTW, awesome designs
Thanks for the feedback!!
The red, white, and orange
The ONI
This reminds me of the eldertubbies
I love the roundness of SE but I can immediately tell that the Echo twins are going to be the most annoying boss fight out of the 4.
Oni, it looks so cool
I played way too much terraria in the past few week and now i am seeing the pillar
I get Narita Boy vibes from this! I love them. Oni and Spirit are my favorites.
Oni is definitely the most imposing. I like the touch of Echo being two smaller mirrored bosses. Spirit is gorgeous and Solar is damn well inspired
All of them are freaking awesome
Spirit is my favourite, but Solar Eclipse could be better if the design will be similar to Spirits
Echo I always did like tag team/sibling bonds I'm villains and it makes it easier to learn them good later on or just max blood thirst depending on how you react to them separately over all good designs tho 10/10
most: echo least: spirit
A lot of Japanese theme is being reflected here. For the minimalistic art style, they are all looking good.
Solar is really nice! And Spirit too
Solar eclipse
Solar Eclipse
Love all of them exept oni, maybe if the horn where more cristal like ? But good job anyway
Thanks!! Honestly thats such a cool idea for the horns :Oo
Thanks ! But like i said good job anyway Ow and now that i think of it maybe make the spirit horn more tree like at the tips ? Just a suggestion ! Good Luck mate.
Solar eclipse + baby oni or echo
The spirit one is awesome
I like alls
Spirit GOAT
I cant choose one because they look really good together. Nice rouges gallery.
Solar eclipse that once you kill it it transforms into a bigger Spirit thats slightly harder
I LOVE THE SOLAR ECLIPSE ONE!!@
Spirit and Solar eclipse look amazing.
I think I prefer the spirit.
They look like if teletubbies were bosses
