These pixelart games are incredibly beautiful. For me, the gameplay itself suffers a lot from intentionally slow animations which showcase the pixelart. The movement does not feel tight and the game is not fun for me.
Agreed wholeheartedly. Makes for great demo videos, and not very fun gameplay for me. Ones that I have seen be successful are pixelart up until you need a fast animation, then some other graphics kick in (think sword slashing/bow and arrow shooting/etc)
