What would you prefer, A massive amount of guardians to edit

WITHOUT

being able to change the colours of the guardians (about 300 sprites
but probably a lot more), OR, have a small amount of guardians
(somewhere around 160 sprites) with only a few colours to choose from
e.g cyan, red, green, blue, and yellow.....?

If you`ll ask me, then I`ll vote for massive amount of guardians. But I didn`t understand: massive amount of guardians or massive amount of sprites? I vote for this, because as you can already know, I prefer
to include in my games a lot of sprites.

Okay, there are a total of 424 sprites to be able to edit, which is
around err... well, whats 424 divided by 4? and thats how many
guardians you will be able to choose from (minus a few actually due
to the guardians that have 2 animations left and right)..

also, the following other graphics available to edit are as follows:

- earth = 64 tiles
- water = 64 tiles
- fire = 32 tiles
- ramps = 64 tiles (left and right)
- conveyor belts = 32
- crumbling blocks = 40 (including individual animations)
- air blocks = 16
- font letters etc. = 120 + 8(game over)
- items = 64 (though they are going to have to be reworked slightly)
- introduction screen
- title screen
- options screen (part of it)
- main game screen (the bottom part)
- the barrel and foot sprites for the game over sequence
- oh, and of course, willys 3 different animations (normal willy, the
flying pig, and the spaceman)

And thats about it.. i don't think i've forgotten anything, if i
have, let me know ;-)

Think this'll be enough?
