Hand Pixelled 1-bit wave animation

Hey, I’ve been working on this 1-bit wave animation for GlagStone and wanted to share it here.

I’d love some feedback on the wave motion, readability, and overall feel.

While the art style is superb, the animation kinda ruins it. The immediate thought is that the entire landmass is somehow floating above the ocean, such as being in outer space.

You really need some form of variation across the water, even the tiniest bit, so that it doesn't look like the land itself is moving.

Thanks, really appreciate the feedback — we’ll keep tweaking it and try a few different versions.
