Colored 1-bit Nature

This asset pack contains approximately 40 nature sprites in a "colored 1-bit" style, perfect for creating lush scenery in a retro platformer. All of the sprites fit nicely on an 8x8 grid. It consists of:

- Giant tree (104 x 112px)

- 3 different monstera plants

- Sunflowers

- Ferns

- Grasses

- Palm tree

- Carrots and parsnips

- 5 different hanging vines

- Soil and grass ground tiles

- Various rocks and different sizes

- Fungi!

- Columns, some broken, and some with vines

- Rope with vines growing round it

What the heck is colored 1-bit?

It's my way of describing this art style. It's an attempt to capture some of the feeling of the ZX Spectrum games I played as a child, but without the graphical limitations of it. So it's kind of like 1-bit in a way, in how the shapes are formed, but there's not restriction in the palette. There's only one rule: that no two colors are allowed to touch. So black is used as a buffer, although this rule is occasionally relaxed for shadows, as you'll see on the columns, for example.
