I could get hit and killed by those flaming red skulls all day. They're like the skulls in Towerfall: 2D art and animation of sufficiently magical quality to convince the mind that you're actually looking at a 3D asset as it spins towards you.
Anyway, this guy lobs flaming red skulls at you whenever you meet, and those skulls! Oh my! Those skulls are just the loveliest things. There's a sort of voodoo pelican guy in Flinthook - I think it's voodoo, and I think it's a pelican. Breathless action combines with perfect pixel art in a game of real character and delight.
