I don't, but it's a fan-game and will be freely distributed.

I think everything should be pixelated, not just the characters and some of the backgrounds. To me it looks kinda throw together because some of the graphics have this hand drawn look and others have the pixely look.

I'm trying to keep it close to the show, as the backgrounds in the cartoon are hand drawn but they tend to use other styles including live action.

The Spongebob icon is currently a place holder.

The hand drawn style art does work quite well in the running game, since the foreground art is on a faster moving layer.

There is a hand drawn billboard later on in the level which looks great since the enemies interact with it, making it look less thrown together.

I'm not much for mixing styles myself and was abit hesitant, but after seeing how it is when running it gives it a style of its own.

That looks great.

I don't see it as a clash of styles really, just that antialisaing doesn't mix well with hand drawn aliased art.
So if you redraw the foreground plant and that Spongebob icon it will all be fine.
