In response to the theme of Tinker, I made a short Pixel gif that shows the process of the bomb from the explosion to the ash, using Piskel.com to made. By using painting and overlay, I was able to show the process of igniting the fuse, the flames of the explosion, and the dust. I want to make the rhythm of the explosion suffocate. I made two layers of smoke when the fuse is ignited. Making pixel animation is fun, I would like to try something new in this area. Similar themes are present in Konami's game, contra (February 20, 1987). Contra explores this theme by using it in video games. This is a unique experience of pixel style, especially at that time. There are many explosion shots in the game, such as boss dies and building destroyed. My inspiration starts here.
