User reviews

No Undo … Not ready for prime time.

Table stakes for an image editor is undo. Must be able to map it to a keystroke or action. The tool looks interesting otherwise, would love to revise this review if the product meets the minimum bar.

Best pixel art app ever

Wow just wow I used to have the 32 pixel art app when I got this ‘good bye 32 out the window you go’The UI great Tools great app in general great I think you’d should also make a pixel animation software as well I hope you see this and like this review.👾👾👾👾

I love

10 out of 10 except for one thing. I’m trying to upload one of my sprites in the import tab but when I click the button it doesn’t do anything. I still love this app and it’s great for making simple sprites for coding games or animations

Didn’t save

It asked to save. Chose save. It didn’t save.

Animating

Seems pretty good, but is there a way I could animate with it?
