An improvement over the first one, and by itself, it has enough content to be a good standalone submission.
The animation was improved, there was a lot more movement, and although things seemed a bit slow, it was very fitting to the 8-bit style. Everything was fun to look at, there was great pacing, and the story seems to be unfolding, slowly. Music is fitting as well.
I think at this point these just need to be longer with more going on.
There is improvement and I hope more comes. Good luck with your future submissions.
