the many faces of bossgame. i'm really happy with these; i tried to include lots of little differences in details and personality in there: sophie's round face compared to anna's long face, the way they hold their mouths... it was fun trying to make each character distinct in 48x48

i highly recommend making a wide variety of different expressions! if nothing else, you can make a character look more active & heighten their emotion by bouncing between slightly different expressions... even for my super lofi game i ended up with over a dozen for each character, haha

bossgame fun fact: i made the blushing sprites in the last month or so before release, as i was tweaking the final scene and needed a particularly powerful mood... i liked them so much i went back through every dialogue and peppered them in. this is why games take forever. it was worth it!

thank you so much ;_; i am really happy you had fun with it!!

i love complex boss attacks and that feeling of studying and mastering a pattern, so i was excited going in that Bossgame would just let me go wild on those..! the dialogue boxes were very fun too... they started as just a small extra i made on a whim while taking a break from harder stuff but it's funny how little touches like that can add so much!

Here's the art used in our little keychain project as PNGs if you wanted to use them for yourself in anything! Just be sure to give proper acredation if you post it! (carnivalien and PixelatedPetals in that order)

If you wanna make keychains like us, we used Shrinky Dink paper you could print on, and used a hole punch before shrinking it for the keychain hole.

"I wonder if I could beat Bossgame blindfolded" is a dangerous thought
