The assets are squashed, but does the game actually renders at 640x240. It does some pixel effects like blending, shadows and I think some hue shifting (at least in AE), and those might be done at a higher resolution than the squashed assets.
Actually it seems to be possible to render at larger resolutions. At least the game definitely accepts background files that are larger than 640x240. I've made a short mod for Oddysee a couple of years ago using Paul's editor and I remember that I used images twice as large as Oddysee default resolution and as far as I recall they actually displayed in better resolution in-game and I even had to size them down because they looked too sharp comparing to the sprites.
