Pretty good

I have enjoyed using this app, it’s simple and fun. However, there are a couple things I would add, such as the ability to move groups of pixels, or sort designs

Love the app!

So, I really only use this app for melon playground and it works AMAZINGLY the only change they should make it when I import a image it only uses colors FROM that image and the zooming in feature could use a bit more work and images are blurry in photos

It's fun if you make maods

It's very usfull for making mods for melon sandbox
