 You should familiarise yourself with the art style of the WorldsAway / AltAway worlds.  It is unlikely that art that does not fit the style will be accommodated.  You should ensure art is in proportion, has a black outline, and fits within the custom 256-color palette.
-Art should be submitted as a 256-color palletised PNG sprite sheet.  Individual sprites should be arranged in a clear matrix, aligned in rows and columns with at least a single transparent column and single transparent row between each set. Please refrain from adding any additional graphics or text; any explanatory notes should be sent in an accompanying text file with the same name as your sprite sheet.
