### 5/5 — Old but still good!

*2024-01-15, version 1.3.1*

It hasn’t been updated in a long time but it still works! Love being able to recreate the type of avatars you’d see on tech twitter in 2013! 

Bought the IAP, totally worth it!

### 5/5 — NFT losers lmao

*2022-02-13, version 1.3.1*

The fact this game has the potential to make the nft ppl mad makes this game 1000x times more satisfying to play. Thank you.

### 1/5 — Awful

*2021-01-06, version 1.3.1*

I really was looking forward to creating myself in this app but they don’t have a brown hair option, which if complete rubbish, I am enraged by this stupid array of selections. I also don’t have the option to create a character without glasses which I also think is rubbish, I rated this app a one out of five but I would rate it lower if I could😡

### 4/5 — Paid version is better, but...

*2020-10-02, version 1.3.1*

I really enjoy this app for creation of pixelated characters. As most mentioned, it would be much better if there were more pre-made options so I don’t have to figure out how to make everything. 

The paid version is much better as you can adjust color option and create your own items. However it is still limited on pre-made choices even after you pay for the app. 

**Suggestion: would be to add pets. Like dogs and cats at least. Also, furniture or other items like that, so you can truly create a mix and match setting for your characters. 

Overall great start for an app. Just needs a few more improvements and regular updates to make it really WOW us.

### 3/5 — Make the costimasasions free

*2020-07-03, version 1.3.1*

Free cosinasasions!:(

### 2/5 — The item editor

*2019-12-23, version 1.3.1*

It’s a good game but changing items you have to pay for which I don’t like because I bought this thinking I can already change it but it’s couldn’t

### 5/5 — Incredible!

*2018-12-08, version 1.3.1*

Love this app!

### 3/5 — Cool.. but..

*2018-05-27, version 1.3.1*

It‘s just all in japanese. Would be cool if there would be some Kind of language selector.

### 5/5 — Splendid little app :)

*2017-10-30, version 1.3.1*

I love this little guy. I use it for all my team to make avatars for our planning board. It’s amazing how much you can express individualism within the constraints of bit-art :)
Happy to support the developer.

### 1/5 — CRISPаны в шоке!

*2017-10-29, version 1.3.1*

Я хотел сделать аватарку как у КРИСПА но вот х*ли я должен конструировать за деньги?
