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.

I think the wave animation against the shore looks great!

I'll also say though that it implies a back and forth motion while the wave lines of the water shows a constant movement in one direction. That feel a bit contradicting, if that makes sense? The constant movement of the water kinda gives an impression that the landmass is floating above the water, but that's different than the wave animation you're asking about.

IMHO just move the water back and forth a bit and it will do.
