Proto art for another new enemy type I'm working on! This one is gonna switch between flying toward you for melee attacks and firing 3 scorpion claws at you in rapid succession.

You know what, the difference is a lot more obvious if you see a gif of the animation with/without shading.

It's truly underappreciated how much shading will improve the look of a sprite. (Second slide is the same spritesheet with the shading and shadow layers active)

Also I have been working on a new enemy type. This one bounces around the scene like a screensaver logo, damaging Hensen if he runs into it.

I've figured out that what's been bugging me about the backdrop is that every one I've done has looked way too far below Hensen and the enemies and I want to create a sense of you being tiny. I'm going to try to make significantly bigger plants today.
