hi,
we're currently working on a 2d side-scroller and wouldn't mind a helping hand making graphics. so if you have time and motivation to work on a homebrew game just send mail to weak[at]fraglab.at (plz include samples of your work).
to give you an impression, here's a short ingame video and some screenshots of a recent dev build (grabbed from psp version):
