"...Should I still submit in case people would like to?"
Of course! That's the reason EVERYTHING gets submitted here; in case people would like to use it.
"...if people want to use it or modify it for commercial projects, so long as they attribute the original art to me? Is that right?"
Correct. CC-BY is very similar in this regard, but OGA-BY grants slightly greater freedom since it doesn't forbid platforms that use DRM, such as Apple App Store.
"Sorry for all the questions."
Two questions are hardly overwhelming. Ask more. :)
Some caveats to note: The answers to the following clarifying questions will change how you should go about submitting the art.
There is a distinction between the copyright (which you will be sharing with others) and the trademark of your (quasi?) O.C. character. Are you comfortable with people using that character, including any details you share about her? (such as name, personality, etc.) Or would you rather people only use the art of the character, but not the essence (name, personality, entity) of the character?
"...Not *super* original...", does this mean the art is based on other artwork of other character(s) not originally created by you? i.e. fan art of Hatsune Miku. Or are you saying the artwork and character is entirely your own creation, but the concepts are not exactly revolutionary? i.e. "you've probably seen characters like this before."
Were any AI tools used at any stage of the creation process? AI assisted artwork is not strictly forbidden, but it does change the information requirements and download rules when submitting the art.
I suspect they either paid him for a non-BY license, or we just aren't seeing where he is listed in the credits. Matthew Pablo isn't exactly a stranger to working on big commercial productions: https://matthewpablo.com/music/video-game-music/
ZALIA? Oh, that's cool. Usually when people say "Zelda II" they either mean Majora's Mask or Tears of the Kingdom, having no idea that both of those are far from the 2nd Zelda.
Although this particular art challenge was concluded in 2022, there is clamoring for another art challenge, and I suspect a "NESfeel II" may be in order.
Sounds good. Submit away!

Ground tiles appear to be from the LPC Base asset pack: https://opengameart.org/content/liberated-pixel-cup-lpc-base-assets-spri...
See https://opengameart.org/forumtopic/assests-removed-all-accept-for-one and let me know if you have questions. They will be re-published automatically after a short delay. However, uploading several more may prolong that delay.

Is it? They must have got it from Matthew. That's pretty cool. He uploaded this song here 6 months before the game came out.
This was uploaded here in 2013. It could be whoever made the game maker addon got it from here.
How many years back?
Don't feel bad; you may have started something here.
