Suggestions/Critique please.
These are all works-in-progress for a roguelike i would rather not have posted about (no real content) but felt the need to otherwise i'd have been more likely to give up and do nothing with it. (which would be bad )
Edit - Also, someone else could use them in their project if they were hard-up for half-assed sprites.

For the most part they're really well made!  My only critique, is that the walls and floors seems to blend a bit to me.  I can tell them apart, but I'm thinking a slightly darker (~10-20 saturation maybe... I dunno) floors would help tell them apart easier... maybe not,  I don't know diddly squat about graphics

Nice, but yeah, the walls and floors blend a bit.
Try a thicker outline on the walls with darker floors.

[Mechanoid]

Well i suppose i could just switch the background color for black and then just move up the other colors into the other positions, so... HUWHAAA?!

Holy shit.
However, i do think i will use the 'thin' walls in conjunction with the black-background floors, since the thicker wall outline changes the way it looks like when tiled, and the wall fixtures like door-passages; there's almost no "frame" to the door with the thick outline.

Looks really nice!
