isael, you don't fight in this game, in fact you can't.

That dark blue background makes it a tad hard to make out the "body" but w/e, also Chris, what are you planning on coding this in anyway?

is this any better? do you mean the nostrils or the eyes inside the head?
well, my brother is programming this on the
chip16, a virtual system.

Remember he's wading through water. Moreover, he's at the bottom of the sea, so the pressure means it's even harder to walk. I suggest making him have smaller arm movements for instance.

that's a good point. i was worried it wouldn't read well, so i overcompensated. i'll see what i can do.
here's the side sprite:

make it floaty when walking: Mother 3, for example, deals with this by animating the sprite a lil' slower and by bobbing it up and down more.

i haven't worked on more bobbing. i'm not sure if i'll make it bob more :/

I don't think more frames was necessary to make it slower - just change the fps function in your animator.

Agreed. Too many frames will look out of place, and I know this since I'm coding the game. Go back to 3 frames

Yeah, and then you can just have the bob be handed in the code. Maybe?

Or, alternatively, small, quick movements.
