The only thing I see in the current is a bunch of green. There's not even any indication that there are walls, let alone that they're deadly.

I'll start the suggestions: [1], [2]

Valid points.

It was added by ~NTC3 and yeah it's not a good image. I like the suggestions, although I wonder if they exist in a less foggy way.

The current is horrible and needs to go regardless of replacement.

1.2 works, although the graphic style kind of works against it as an image, since it's rather busy. It's still mostly clear what's going on.

Also, the current should be pulled regardless.

If I hadn't seen a video of Super Hexagon in action once, I would have no idea what the current image is about. (It even has to rely on a caption to tell you what the player is controlling!) I'll vote to pull as well.

The suggestions are definitely an improvement, but it's still a bit hard to make out what's going on.

Pull the current, regardless of replacement.

The two suggestions work for me.

Rhetorical, eh? ... Eight!

I pulled it.

See that small triangle near the middle? It's you.

Here's a cleaner version of my above suggestions:

[up] Can you get a bigger version? Max width is 350 PX.

Should I try to stretch the image a little bit and make the details more visible, or should I create a bigger, yet still pixel-perfect, mockup?

Oh, no, don't ever stretch an image. It's better to get a larger source.

Well, it's not small enough to stretch by even multiples, which would be acceptable for pixel-based images.

I'm kind of neutral. I think either works.

I think the height could be cropped a little to better focus on the PC.

14 works for me as is.

Looking back at the two version, I think I prefer 9, because the main character is more visible there.

Maybe we need a crowner.

How about some walls of spikes from a Mega Man game? Mega Man is well-known to be deathly allergic to spikes.

I like that too, although on the visuals, not because of any game knowledge.

Yeah, 22 is clear, even for someone such as myself who has never played a Megaman game. I like it.
