We’ve already shared a great deal of Scott Pilgrim pixel art, so today for something different, we’ve dug up some sprites from 5th Cell‘s DS release Drawn to Life: The Next Chapter.
USA Today: "You've probably played their award-winning games, such as the Drawn to Life and Scribblenauts series, but you likely aren't aware of the folks behind Seattle-based 5TH Cell, their background and impressive milestones while creating unique games for Nintendo (and soon, XBLA) platforms.
Well, we're here to change that. The following are five things you didn't know about 5TH Cell."
It’s infrequent that you find a children’s game that deals with issues like self-sacrifice, loss, slavery, and not-so-subtle religious overtones. But for better or for worse, Drawn to Life: The Next Chapter explores these themes and more, all under the guise of a cutesy platformer featuring tiny, furry critters named Raposas.
WorthPlaying writes: "Some games combine the right mix of elements to create an exceptional game, and Drawn to Life was a surprising example of this. Initially, it sold rather poorly due to rather tepid reviews that weren't sure if the game was the smartest idea or was well implemented. The intended kid's market, with a periphery demographic that didn't find the creative elements to be sufficient, didn't get the game selling until THQ quickly slammed out a SpongeBob SquarePants Edition, which not only sold like hotcakes, but also kick-started sales of the original title. Now, THQ has gotten around to doing a proper sequel with Drawn To Life: The Next Chapter and a separate sequel on the Wii, under a different developer and with a different plot. All the strengths are here and tighter than before, but with the catch of making the game's largely unfixed weaknesses a little more visible."
