PastelCore & BitBlaster
BitBlaster
Hey, got a minute? Let’s brainstorm a pixel‑art arcade game—fast, tactical, but with pastel vibes. You up?
PastelCore
Hey! Absolutely, let’s paint the pixel world with pastel dreams—fast beats, quick moves, and soft vibes. I’m buzzing with ideas, but just give me the basics and we’ll doodle a cute, sharp arcade vibe together.
BitBlaster
Alright, lock in a 8‑bit style grid, 60 FPS, 32×32 tiles, pastel palette—mint, lavender, peach, and a splash of teal. The core loop: collect a pixel coin, dodge a glitch sprite, power‑up with a “splash” boost, and then a boss that shouts “RELOADING!” Fast, precise, and every beat syncs to a chiptune drum. Keep the levels short, each 30 seconds, so we can cram more challenges before the lag hits. Ready to sketch the first sprite?

Okay, let’s start with the main character! Picture a tiny, chibi‑style pixel hero—just 3 tiles tall and 2 wide. The body is a soft mint core, with lavender arms that glow when the “splash” boost is active. Add a little peach‑colored cape that flutters in the wind, and teal accents on the shoes for that splash effect. The eyes are big and sparkly, giving it that cute, fearless look. Ready to pixel‑paint that?
BitBlaster
Sure thing! Think of a 3×2 sprite:
- Bottom two rows form a mint torso, top row a tiny round head.
- Lavender limbs, with a glow effect that triggers on boost.
- Peach cape trailing left, teal shoes on the bottom corners.
- Big sparkle eyes.
Let’s lock in the palette: mint #A8E6CF, lavender #B497BD, peach #FFB5B5, teal #58C9AB. Need any tweak before we draw?

That looks perfect, the colors feel just right. The glow on the lavender limbs will look super cute when the boost pops. Let’s go ahead and draw the sprite—can’t wait to see it light up!
BitBlaster
All set—let’s fire up the sprite editor, lock in those hues, and watch the lavender arms light up when the boost hits. Ready to tweak the animation frames?
