Sprite Battles

Sprite Battles are a way of creating sprites for everyone's use, learning to make sprites, and having a fun competition.

How to Sprite Battle

  • The next round, the winning sprite becomes the base sprite, with more colors added to the palette.
  • The person who wins the most rounds wins the entire battle.
  • You may not use copyrighted sprites.
  • You may not use copyrighted characters.
  • You may suggest a sprite battle to make a sprite in the style of a copyrighted sprite.
  • You can vote for yourself. You cannot vote twice.
  • You can enter any round that is accepting entries.

To participate, you will need Graphics Gale, which is free and can be downloaded here:
