i felt like creating some really weird creature.

moving animation:

attack animation:

what do you think: is that idea worth bringing it into the game?

Reminds me of a worm with legs.

I like it

Wahaha, I love it! It's sooo funny!

Yet I don't think it would fit in TMW... not with that attack animation at least. It's better for a Space Jam or Johnen Vasquez game. But with a more apropriate attack animation it could be a newbie creature. Or maybe a baby pet?

About the moving animation... he seems only to be jumping up and down. His leg should strech also backward, not only down. So the feet should go in a sortof half-circular motion. Oh, and the animation could be a more fluent, if you ask me. About two frames extra.

Thanks for the laugh anyway.

Haha, i like it. Maybe we could integrate a crazy map in the manawold. This monster remebers me on a monster in Commander Keen.

I like this too, but I could place this into a cold damp dungeon (we do have slimes!) with a different color and tweaked animation..

I see it more as a creature you swat during your first steps outside the safe city walls... hopping in the quiet peacefull fields of carealot.

Tell me about it.

Remember the standing frame doesn't have to be from the direct front/back. And for all north/south frames; There doesn't have to be exact symmetry in pixels, and don't forget you have anti-aliasing.

My original thought: "Wow, that just has to be able to bite a newbie's head off.."

I don't know what a "carealot" is, but it would be funny ia field of carrots.

Care-a-lot is the land of the carebears.

I think a carrot field lvl would be a funny idea with this monsters. Someelse could draw a better field + carrot.
