Oh, it's DennizKainz v2.

People don't like small resolutions because it becomes a blind run/jump fest, so then you have to slow down if you don't want to ""accidently"" get hurt, thus defeating the point of a fast paced game.

It's not really a crime but it's not desired. In modern days, 2D sidescrollers don't have low resolutions (and only do so out of limitations, like mobile games which aren't considered anything exceptional), and are well enjoyed.

The sprite doesn't become bigger. It's one big fat illusion.
