I CANT ANIMATE

I can’t animate my phones screen is to small to see the animate stuff can you PLEASE HELP my making it where you can scroll to see the animation stuff

Response from developer

We don’t currently support animation

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.👾👾👾👾

Très intéressant

Très bonne appli mais manque de calques

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?

We need more features

Is there a pixel perfect? I did not find. Also can I make gif on it?

Please add this function

It would be sooooooo cool if you could remove the background so that it is really a PNG (I mean a transparent background) or does this function already exist (I've only had it for 1 hour and I've only used it for a few minutes) Otherwise, an GREAT app EDIT: IT WORKS!!! I have tested it so many times and then I saved it as a file when exporting the image and with another app I saw that it has no background!!! and before i saw with a Quicknotice it has also no background and as a Image, it has a White background Nice! And very NICE App

It's so much fun to just play around (and i can program a little lua script and soon I'll get a Unity course and then I can program 3D with Unity!

edit: I This rating always had 5 stars

Response from developer

Thanks for the review! Your edit is correct, the app does support transparency in export.

Poor Quality. Crashes, Transparency Wrong

This is a very poor app. The Transparency leaves colours behinds, so it actually creates a grid, not a tranparency, making it impossible to craft sprites.

Further, just creating a new document seems to crash the app. I think this is the first time I will have ever had to ask Apple for a Refund.

Das ist zu wenig

Es it zwar nicht teuer, aber es kan einfach zu wenig. Keine Ebenen, sodass man schlecht etwas verschieben oder anpassen kann. Es ist kein Zoomen möglich. Es fehlen die grundlegenden Dinge. Das ist einfach zu wenig.

Crashes when creating a new document

Using macOS Ventura the app crashes when creating new documents.

Crashes when opening a simple PNG file.

No more to say, couldn't use it further.

App crashes upon launch.

When I attempt to launch the app on my Mac (OS is Monterey version 12.2.1) the app crashes less than a second after the sprite editor screen loads.

I attempted to reach out to the developer through the email provided on the support page of their website, however the email apparently doesn't exist as my message was bounced back to me.

I would really like to use this app as it seems like it could be extremely useful if it were to work, so I will happily change my review if a solution is brought to my attention.
Thanks

Reported a bug and got it fixed within a week

Read title. The guy who makes this is fairly responsive.

Response from developer

Thanks for taking the time to write this review! Appreciate it.

hope to update new

不能直接拉出圆形

good but there are some small issues

It works well but there is no undo button, zooming in/out is weird and doesn't work with a mouse.

Almost the Best

This sprite editor is phenomenal, but is missing some features that even free pixel art apps have. Here are some suggestions that I have.
1. Resize canvas / art
This is probably the most basic one. Just being able to resize the canvas would be great.
2. Import photo
Maybe be able to import a picture from inside the editor or something?
3. Animation?
I’ve seen two apps so far that support animation within the app. That is all.
4. issue
sprites won’t export as transparent

That’s all I have. Other than these (especially number 1), this is a great app!

Response from developer

Thanks for the feedback! For #4, sprites do export as transparent, maybe you are exporting to a 3rd-party app that doesn’t support transparency? Contact me via my website and we can discuss further. 😊

一点小建议

可否导入图片来做临摹,新手画不好勾线。

Great

I like the pixels in and it helps me draw, but the only thing I wish it had was where you can make an animation with the pixels, like an old video game. But it overall a great drawing app. Thank you for making this.

Response from developer

Thank you. Your request is noted.
