This is just something I've been playing with in between working on other things.
I didn't know about sprite stacking until this old post popped up a couple of months ago. Although that example rotates the sprites themselves it turns out you can get some interesting results even without it. I haven't bothered with collision detection so you can walk right through the trees and the rocks. Waking through the water was intentional though. I wanted it to look like actually walking in water.
The space is procedurally generated but persistent so it's the same every time the cart is run. And it's effectively infinite in all directions. Not actually infinite obviously but pretty darn big for no particularly good reason.
The reason you can walk on water and through trees and rocks is that you are a ghost
This is cool, the horizontal skew of the sprites works super well. Pico 8 animal crossing incoming for sure hehe
