In game style for reference

This was a fun one to work on #crashbandicoot #pixelart #GBA

Here is the timelapse, I used the Endesga 32 palette for this one. About 13 colours.

Anyway, still a bit of work to do, next step is figuring out how to stream a multi frame background to simulate camera movement. I think I have a game plan, but we will see how it goes.

One other small limitation you can see is a bit of over rendering on some scan lines, causing sprites in the distance to clip when the scene is extra busy.

I think Huge Adventure on the GBA uses the same technique for its chase levels.

For performance I sort/order all the entities at build time, which is fast but means we can’t change the depth of entities dynamically. In this case though it’s fine because this is going to be used for a boulder chase style level, with Crash riding a Polar bear towards the screen.
