Than go and play it actually, one of the best jump'n runs of all
times, if not the best jump'n run ever =:)

The sprites itself (Tux, enemies, etc) should be more or less classic
sprites. Todays resolutions leave some more freedom on graphics style,
than 320x200, so they don't need to be pixeled in the classic sense,
but I kind of like to have clear and sharp sprites, which btw. Yoshis
Island had too. For the backgrounds and tiles however I agree, one
can't get sketchy enough with them and having them look like from a
childs book can really make them look special compared the standard
rendered graphics we see most of the day today. The only difficult
part is to actually produce such gfx with Gimp, since its not really
meant for drawing in the first place it doesn't provide all that much
usefull brushes or such a style.
