Midway through the second level we find CW Leonis (IRC +10216), the dying star surrounded by a carbon dust cloud that once belonged to its outer layer.

An accurate depiction of testing a new code for the first time.
After a lot of tweaks and redraws, I finally reached a satisfying (and cute) running animation for the little bird.
The Evil Eye (spiral galaxy NGC 4826) watches over the lost bird as the player begins the second level of the game.
PS: I may consider redrawing or making some touch ups later as it looks a far cry from the amazing image it is based on.

Riki is a cute and helpless bird, but that doesn't mean he won't show off some of his acrobatic prowess.
After (assuming) the player is familiar with the basic mechanics of the game, the levels will start to get more complex and challenging.
A definitely not dangerous doppelganger to follow you around, just keep a healthy distance from him and you'll be fine.
Started to draw some of the other character that will apear on the game, besides Riki.
Fo now we have Riki's older brother and Johnny, Riki's best friend.
Working on the animations for a new cutscene, poor Riki can't catch a break.
A little look at the dash mechanics of the game.
Despite being safer on land, Riki still will have to watch out for the dangerous hazards.
Despite all headache, the chaotic unpredictability of this gravitational fields can create some interesting behaviors
