This can also be expanded in that Consitency is one of the most important thing with game art. No matter how much effort is put into the art, having a consistent style is what drives it home.

In the game Super Paper Mario, stage 3 has a "pixelated theme" and mixels are used to give a sense of perspective, with different pixel sizes being used on different layers. It sort of works in that scenario.
@wyvernplays1147
Mixels!?!?!? :0 I love that Lego theme

(The most gorgeous art on screen) "It looks bad, right?"
@MeLikeChezBurgers
I thought it was run cycle being too fast
@bluemew22
Exception: When the big thing is meant to be "wrong" or "abnormal", such as a villain magically enhancing the thing to sizes it was never meant to be. The mismatched pixel sizes could be used to help sell that "not meant to be" feeling.
@sethg3958
That honestly wasnt my issue, because its a very common thing done in indie games. The main character is running slower than their animation cycle suggests it should be.
@GornkJhonas
I was just thinking she wasn't running at the same speed as her legs...
@sol70523
yes i hate it when pixel games have inconsistent pixel sizes and when they dont line up to a grid
@dimwarlock
"it looks bad, right?" I was like: ¿The movement? ¿the camera? ¿the colors? ¿the animation technique? ¿the posing? ¿the background? ¿the style of every asset? ¿the sprite sizes? ¿the lighting? ¿the resolution of the game? ¿the pacing? ¿the contrasts? everything looked good to me until you pointed it out. There are SO MANY things you could be referring to. It is a very obvious thing... once you know what's wrong, not before.

mixels mixels? lego mixels? lego mixels, the peak of my childhood? bring them back
@happaxgamma
The word, "Mixels" hits me with nostalgia.
@amaulana090
My pet peeve is when people make a pixelized game... and rotate the sprites.
@McNibbler
Also it aint just the pixel sizes but their positions! If they don’t adhere/align to the pixel grid or if a dev rotates sprites it always looks really bad too
@clodolcmidnights837
Mixels? Now that’s a name I haven’t heard in a long time
@luishoc
I have this problem with the developer of my team so often. Dude, if you want a bigger sprite just ask for it
@lordforg8697
I’m going to be honest, I would never have seen any problem if you hadn’t pointed it out, even when you did, i still can’t see the problem
@TuberTugger
You can scale up if you do it by exactly 2x. Then each pixel is just 4 pixels. You'll probably want to add some extra detail but it's not completely terrible. Avoid going down this way though.
@Powerate
The thing that looked weird to me was that Isadora's run animation didn't match the amount of ground she's covering with each step
