There is no tile system which means that every assets (over one thousand) and every stage (over three hundred) are painted one by one.
The animation is traditional 2D full animation, which means that every frame is drawn again and again to make a smooth and fluid motion.
Narita Boy has more than twenty thousand animation sprites.
We don’t use particle system, which means that all visual FX are also animated frame by frame.
