Aquabulle

Here are some enlarged in-game sprites I created for the French re-skin of Aqua Ball. The system requirements were even stricter than the UK version, as the French counterpart only allowed a palette of 16 fixed colors for the entire game. With this in mind, I had to create everything the old fashioned way – one pixel at a time – to ensure compliance.

I did plenty of low res pixel pushing in the early 90's on my beloved Amiga. I used to design my own 16 color system icons in Deluxe Paint – those were the days!
