It was interesting to see that the game Aero uses very nice looking (high resolution?) pixel art. I'm familiar with it in old games and in newer ones that choose to adopt a retro look, but I'd never seen someone attempt what they did. I probably would have been one of the people complaining about the game's 'pixellated' art, as a result.

That said, I quite enjoyed the article, and some of those modern pixel art pieces linked were very impressive. I think overall his decision to make the switch is a good one though, if I can consider myself any kind of sample of his audience.
