Hey! Just made an account to say that these assets were perfect for me 'cause I'm making a game for a school project and I do NOT have the time to make a bunch of sprites (I'm a perfectionist artist so that would mean spending hours starting over and over again trying to come up with something-). I'll try to figure out a way to credit you and maybeee(?) send you a way to check out the game, but no promises that it'll be any good. Also, do you think you could make some sprites for like stars or gems or coins? Y'know, just some simple collectibles. While I doubt they'll be much use to me currently because GOD is this deadline fast approaching, it'll definitely be really useful to other people.
I love these assets, it's what I've always been looking for <3
Hi, I'd love to use your assets for my game. How are the license? :)
It's CC0, totally free!

Good!
This is brilliant. Exactly what I was looking for and is already easily adaptable for the NES as well.
Have been learning and doing up templates for the NES and GB and the hardest part has been getting/making sprites that just work.
Legend.
I'm glad you find it useful.
