Fuzzy Wuzzy Games gives a look at Armillo’s prototype visuals
Armillo went through a number of graphical changes as outlined by developer Fuzzy Wuzzy Games on Twitter. You can find a number of screenshots and tweets from the studio below, which are filled with sample screenshots and an explanation of the different styles.
Our platformer started out as blocky style graphics. It was actually a bit hard on the eyes and looked bland. pic.twitter.com/bZAJvRDRu5

So I wanted something nicer. So I decided to design the levels to reflect the 3D world more. pic.twitter.com/q75jq25HlE

The designed called for 2D levels to mirror the 3D. But it felt like the 2D levels are just simple version of 3D and didn't add to the game.

So I tried my hand on pixel art, using NES palette. Only problem – gameplay didn't change. I needed to refocus. pic.twitter.com/pNX4wUi69I

Eventually moved away from tile based and decided to go polygon based. Allowed for levels to be created a lot faster. http://t.co/YA7gnIS06N

And allowed for some creative stuff to be added easily. Maybe not as nice visually as the others, but hopefully the game plays nice.

So that's my platformer adventure. Just hope you won't get too disappointed on what could have been! 🙂
