How to use this prompt

"16-bit era aesthetic" triggers the SNES-era look — without it Midjourney produces modern pixel art that is too clean. The health bar and empty menu box identify this as a battle scene, not an illustration; "completely empty" with "nothing written inside it" is what keeps the menu box free of garbled pixel lettering. "Limited palette of deep red, dark grey, gold and green" mimics hardware palette constraints; more colours push it toward modern indie pixel art. "Crisp pixel edges with no anti-aliasing" is the rendering instruction — anti-aliasing softens pixels into gradients, killing the retro look. Stylize at 150 holds the pixel grid without painterly shading.

Variations to try

  • Swap the dragon for a giant slime in a grassy field for an early-game battle variant
  • Change the palette to ice blue and white for a frost cavern battle scene
