I'm wondering, for the left/right movement for the worker. Would it be very difficult to show the the side of the body instead of the front? That would make it look less goofy, however, it would pain in the neck to code. Now that I think about it, it might be better to leave it the way it is due to the smallness of it all. Just seeing them here in their sprite strip makes them look like they're doing calisthenics (no offense intended). But again, since they're really small in the game, they'll look okay like they did in the demo. Later on, I'll make a sheet to try to illustrate what I mean.
I don't know if this was planned yet, but it would be cool if the castles were modular, that way the imps could attack the various sides of your wall, and make it more challenging to defend. Not really an art comment but wth.
Whenever I do sprites nowadays, I draw them big first and then shrink 'em down to the size I want, then trace around them to get the shapes and everything right. I don't know how much that'll help though.
Like I was going to say before, I can help with graphics, but the pixel art really isn't my preferred style anyway.
