Pixelart animations for a newgrounds web game

This is a minigame made in 20 days that I made with a team for Newground's Pixel Day where I made all the sprites/character design and background.
I want to share some pictures of the process here!

In this mini-game you control 2 characters
Oscar (melee attacks) and Tak (ranged attacks).
We started the development on January 1st and we thought about making this mini-game set in the same lore of a personal project called EnergySeekers where I create lore, designs, animations etc. Still there was a lot of work to do! new sprites and animations specially made for this game from already created characters.
I made a few mockups for the composition of the game, in order to have a clear idea of where to place each object when programming.
As we were participating in a jam my idea was to make a short and easy game to play so I only made 2 types of attacks for each playable character weak attacks / strong attacks.
There is a small number of enemies but each one has a way to be defeated.
Scavengers can be defeated with light and strong attacks from both characters.
Suicidal Maniacs can be defeated with Tak's light attacks and Oscar's strong attacks.
Shooters are enemies that can appear with 1 or 2 shields that protect them from any kind of damage. The shields can be instantly destroyed with the strong attacks of both characters. If both characters do not have a strong attack available the player must use Tak's light attacks to defeat this enemy.
Each character has limitations in their attacks.

Tak uses ammunition for his attacks which he recharges passively at a slow rate.

Oscar has a bar that grows as his attacks are used and if it reaches the maximum, the character get stunned (the bar can decrease if he stops attacking).
Some of the effects i made.
Thanks a lot to the newgrounds community for all thesupport they give to the minigame and to the project I work on. You can play this minigame on Newgrounds!
