The Lower Caverns sprite sheet #2
The result of five years' work, updating/improving the graphics from the original Spectrum/SAM Coupé version of Manic Miner, adaptations of some sprites from the Bob McFarlane AGD remix, and some wholly new sprites, unique to The Lower Caverns. Most of the sprites have just 4 frames of animation (with some having unique frames for moving left/right or up/down), and most stick to the same 12-colour palette, though some caverns have adjusted palettes to allow for greater variety. Many of these sprites are for the McFarlane remixed caverns, or the new caverns designed by Phil Wilson back in the 1990s. Others are simply recolourings of sprites from sheet #1, once I figured out how to make them work. The sun and unicorn sprites are for one of the caverns I designed: It's All Sunshine & Rainbows. One of my favourites was the Ms. Pac-Man sprite, which has a unique 4-frame animation for each direction. This was added to the McFarlane cavern 'Packing Plant', which was turned into a more overt Pac-Man homage for TLC. There's also my 'Horaspider', which appears in a cavern I designed, named 'Undermined Nostalgia', which references the Melbourne House game, Horace & the Spiders.
