Little Samson

Screenshots

A multi-layered 2D platformer level displays a yellow stone structure with crenellated walls in the center-right, surrounded by brown earth and green foliage. A small blue character stands on a platform in the upper portion of the screen. Sharp brown and tan spikes protrude from the ground below the stone structure. The background shows dark black void areas with scattered golden coin or gem sprites filling much of the upper screen. The NES-era pixel art uses warm earth tones, gold highlights, and a limited color palette typical of 8-bit graphics.
