the picture is all squished and there's no animation

Alright! Finished up the Amplified version. http://psteamcommunity.yuanyoumao.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=885465533

Can you make it compatible with the amplified DLC?

Dark knight model as clone could be really cool too, nice job, love it!

oh nevermind it's plate armor

where's that kratos armor, yo

is the karate armor featured?

make a portrait pls so you can see shovel knight when you select cadence

Six outta four if you count transparency, five outta three if you don't.

I wasn't counting transparancy as a color I could change. Here's the colors used for Mega Man. [i.imgur.com]

I found a gif showing why this wasn't used more. [i.imgur.com]

Also, I've updated the description since Yacht Club Games didn't stick as close to the limitations as I thought they did.

That's the colors used in the game. It has five colors per sprite, just like Mega Man's.

Mega Man used a trick where his face was a seperate sprite overlayed over his body. I think Shovel Knight's devs may have gone a bit overboard with that idea.

You're also using way too many colours per sprite

The Steam Community went down before I could respond...
That looks like the same colors, aside from the four SK colors.

I removed two duplicate colors (30 and 2D) and moved the light blue (31) to 2D's place (Far left). I don't remember why though...

What do you mean? Did I get some colors wrong? I may have used some of the four colors that were in SK but not on the NES palette.

Here's the palette I used. [i.imgur.com]

"following the NES palette"
That's a pretty good joke.

Speaking of the Order of No Quarter, would there be some possibility in adding them in as bosses/minibosses? This could also go well with some of the enemies, slimes could be Blorbs, ghost could be Invisishade, skeleton wizards...Wizzem? (I question some of these enemy names, Yacht Club Games.)

I have a Black Knight mod in progress that I'm working on at random. The plan is to have his armor sets be based mostly off of the Order of No Quarter.

Here's a WIP pic. [i.imgur.com]

By the way, the Gi armor's colors are based on the Conjurer's Coat, which increased SK's magic at the cost of some defense.

You could also skin the second player to look like dark knight, it would make them more visually distinctive

...what's the Gi armor?

Sweet!

Awesome Work!
