Credits

The world you walk through is built out of other people’s pixel art. None of these licenses demand a credit line. They get one anyway — the art is most of why the site works.

Tilesets & world

SideScroll Worlds SET1

Szadi art.

The ground and cliff tiles, the parallax mountain and treeline backdrops, and every prop in the world: trees, bushes, rocks, mushrooms, sprigs, and the animated grass and plants that sway as you walk past them.

License
Commercial use and modification permitted; publishing on websites permitted. Resale of the art, original or modified, is not.

Characters

Free Pixel Art Tiny Hero Sprites

CraftPix.net

The three walkable characters — Dude, Owlet and Pink — and their idle, walk and jump animations. The favicon is cut from the walk sheet.

License
CraftPix free license: unlimited personal and commercial use, modification permitted. Redistribution or resale of the source art is not. Attribution not required.

Sky

Free Sky with Clouds Background Pixel Art Set

CraftPix.net

The seven skies the site cross-fades through as you walk — dawn to daylight to dusk to night — each one a backdrop plus two cloud layers moving at different speeds.

License
CraftPix free license, as above.

The planet

Pixel Planets

Deep-Fold

The small spinning planet in the intro is not a sprite from this pack. It is a static render produced by a Python port of the pack’s LandMasses shaders (water, land and cloud passes), using the pack’s own default palette.
