Your prompt

A detailed retro pixel art scene depicting {{scene}} rendered in a {{era}} video game aesthetic with visible individual pixels forming every element of the composition. The scene uses a carefully curated limited color palette of {{palette}} with no anti-aliasing, maintaining crisp pixel-perfect edges on every shape and character. Dithering patterns create the illusion of additional colors and smooth gradients within the restricted palette. The background features parallax-ready layered depth with a detailed foreground platform, midground scenery, and a simpler distant backdrop suggesting spatial depth. Small animated details are implied through action lines and positioned sprite frames suggesting movement, particle effects shown as scattered colored pixels for sparks, dust, or magic. Environmental lighting is conveyed through strategic color shifts between shadow and highlight zones. The pixel density is consistent throughout maintaining a uniform grid resolution that feels authentic to the era. Retro video game art, pixel perfect, classic gaming nostalgia. Aspect ratio: {{aspect-ratio}}.
