Undertale?
I was preparing the sprite art for this map before Undertale was released. I began working on _fade in early 2014, though my inspiration for this map stemmed from YN fangames (.flow, LcdDem) and YN itself.
Haha yeah I've been following this on gamejolt too before it was released here so I know X3 I just thought they looked very similar.

Yeah, but I understand that kind of reaction! I've played Undertale too recently and I've seen why it's being all the rage right now. Even though I fully finished the game my experience with it just keeps going with all the great fan work around and headcanon, haha
I think it's more like divergence than Undertale, honestly. It's the first thing that sprang to mind (it's a game on this site and is worth checking out, if only because it's really pretty and has an interesting gameplay element).

Oh, I can see why it came to your mind. That's some really good sprite work, thanks for sharing! I still consider myself as a beginner when it comes to pixel art, as I'm doing all the artwork myself out of necessity rather than choice.
Ahhh yeah I forgot about divergence :P I played a bit of that game and they are a bit similar, although divergence seems less black-blue only and more colorful. At first I actually thought those blue stuff were ripped from undertale XD I'm sorry

Haha, don't worry about it. Now that Undertale is so popular it's easier to compare fade's sprites to the dark Waterfall area, which means extra work for me because I'd then need to further differentiate the two things.
I would personally recommend green. I feel like purple would stand out too little.
Very, very bright green.
Very, very bright green.

That might be a good idea. It would also in theory make the Shadow stand out more without the need of drawing an outline to its sprite. I'll experiment with that, thanks! :)
I did a quick colour shift set to get an idea of what they'd look like in different colours.
I rather like the aqua, red and pink/purple hues myself. Granted, it's not exactly as it would appear with a recolour, but it does give a general idea.

Oh that's very interesting! Thanks for experimenting on your own!
I agree about purple, teal and red. Red probably gives a bit too much of a "dangerous" vibe to an otherwise relaxing area. I think purple probably sets the balance between the two hues. It almost makes it look sophisticated, while not terribly original, it's still an interesting sight in my opinion.
You could also experiment with different shades, like have one be a darker magenta purple while another is more blue-ish - still falling in the spectrum but adding a bit of variety.

Haha!! Acid _fade ftw :'D
Yeah, I'll get my hands on the graphics again once I'll finish coding the main puzzles :3 I initially went for a single color/three shades output, but drawing a more complex vegetation doesn't sound like a bad idea.

Uuuuh... Granted I'll change the parallax since it's one of the default ones... I still prefer the aqua hues, to be fair. I could, however, take the blue grass and give it some purple hue or something.

I added some purple/lilac shades to the grass stems plus added a couple of extra floral tiles.
