Ahh I can sort've understand how you've done this, I am a bit confused on step 5 though

0.5s normal > 0s head down 1 pixel > 0.2s head & body down 2 pixels > 0s up

What does the "0s up" part mean? Do you move the head & body back up 2 pixels for 0s?

That's what I think it means, bc then that frame is technically the "0s head down 1 pixel" frame, which bounces up when the animation restarts.

Maybe it would help if I tried making a bouncy pixel icon, but I think if you could do a simple close-up of a base pixel (no hair or anything, just like a bust), that'd help explain it better? Like take a zoomed-in screenshot of each frame and explain what you've done in that frame; splitting it up might help explain it better.

And I would love to see the art you draw of the icons before hand! o A o that looks really cute, and it's actually a really good idea, I didn't think of doing that. You should be charging more for the icons if you put that much extra work into it too, even if it's simple I'd love to see the art that goes into making the icons q3q~

the 4th frame is essentially the same as the 2nd one, they're just the inbetweens for the up and down parts, since if I did it with just 2 frames, up and down, it would be very stiff and jerky looking,
the 0s up is just move the head and body up 1 pixel for 0s from the 3rd frame's position, moving it 2 up from there is back to the start, does that make sense?
haha sorry i'm kinda bad at explaining it, most of the animation part is just trial and error for me, i just mess with it till it looks right, but that pattern generally works.

I've been considering whether or not to put links to the original images in in description of the icons, maybe i'll do that from now on,
but here is the one to yours if you wanted to see ^^ -Icon Cm
and Thank you so much ;w; I will probably raise the prices more as I gradually improve, I still want them to be reasonable for most people to buy ^^
