MiniMax-32

Created by JuhoSprite

This is a small color palette, but the selection of colors makes it useful for many different types of pixel art that are bright and have saturated colors. It is made for smaller platformer games. My main inspirations were from the Pico-8 palette and the one that Celeste uses.
