Hi all, I've been working on fully adapting Brickmania to the iPod 5G's larger display (meaning larger bitmaps to make it fullscreen). Since scaling up the current bitmaps looks horrible, I decided to create my own. I rather like the look of these, so I wanted to hear what people thought of them.
If everybody prefers them, I'll adapt them to all the color LCD targets and commit them, but I need votes fast. I really want to get these in pre-3.0 (meaning within a couple days, probably).

Any input is welcome, all votes appreciated. :)

So the results are pretty even, I guess the current ones will stay for now.
Does anybody who voted 'no' have any input or suggestions? ze in IRC pointed out that they look a little blurry which I am aware of and will work on. I also think the colors are a bit vivid, I'll tone them down a bit.
Anything else, anybody?
-
I also like the 'brick' effect of the old ones -> texture
-
I voted yes, primarily because I think they'll look better when scaled to the Nano's screen size. I'm not fond of the current ones on it, and _especially_ the cracking texture on top of the current ones.
-
I voted no, because I also like the "brick" effect of the old ones.
And IMHO the new ones look too bright and hurt my eyes... ;)
-
I think the new bricks have a too large bevel, but reducing it by a pixel may already be fine....
And I agree adding some sort of subtle texture, like on the old ones, would make it even better!
-
Good to hear all this feedback, thanks, guys. :)
I'll probably create a new poll sometime soon after working on these a bit more.

what'd i like to see, is changing the color of the background, maybe to a nice clean white.
-
Personally, I'd like a 320x240 version of Brickmania, unless that's been done already.

Uh, that's what this thread is about.
-
Personally, I haven't vote but what I think is - new bitmaps adjusted to the screen would be great - but I would really like to have kept the old "textures" and colours.
The new proposed ones are not that fine, they look somewhat... cheap and plastic. :)
So please if you would be able to scale these bitmaps keeping the old colour fashion or maybe similar but complex in that way, it would be great.
-
The new proposed ones look very similiar to the ipod 5th gen's brick game. I think both the old and new are nice.
But I agree with that_asian_guy that changing the background to a lighter color (maybe even white) might help everything.

This is actually what they were based on (though still made entirely by me). I didn't quite get the effect I wanted... :)

Errm. I appear to have missed that sentence in the OP... my bad! ::)
