I'm working on improving the graphics for my game's mode 7 levels, starting with Maffi herself. I'm still figuring out animation but I think this looks better than just standing there. I tried animating the plug as having some weight to it, since it would be heavier than the rest of the tail.

It's kind of funny to put most of the animation emphasis on the tail specifically, because that brings out certain hobby animation vibes, but that's fine (and welcome!) for Nova the Squirrel 2. #pixelart
