Any chance you were inspired by FTL? That was my first thought when I saw this.
General Question: Is photoshop worth the pain to do pixel art, I try it and it's a hasle. Anything easier to use other than paint.net? I heard gimp was okay.
I personally used Gimp to make the animated Pixel-Art steam Loco in my Sig.
It's easy after you get the handle of things.
I use another program,Which I forgot the name of,To animate it.
