Also (despite those being mockups) you're using far too many colours. 48 actually.
You're right Andy.
The NES runs at a 256x224 resolution. It has 4 palettes of 4 colors for the background, all these share the same first color. Each 16x16 tile can use one of those palettes.
There are also 4 palettes of 3 colors each for the sprites. Each sprite can use any of these 3 palettes. If you need more colors on a sprite you can overlay two sprites with different palettes. The Megaman series does this. Note that you can never have more than 8 sprites on the same line!
- Ok, you must admit that was the most creative cussing this site have ever seen -
But the important thing for a click game is the colours really, to get that Nes/Famicom look. You can probably get away with 324x240 screen size though, or you might want to make a fake border.
