Pixl8 turns your iPhone into a pocket-sized retro 8-bit-style console for PICO-8, the fantasy console loved for its tiny, handcrafted pixel-art games. Point Pixl8 at the folder where you keep your carts and it turns them into a tap-and-play library. Each cart is a single PNG image (example.p8.png) with a whole game inside: art, music and code. If you love retro gaming, chiptune soundtracks and hand-drawn pixel art, Pixl8 lets you carry a whole community's worth of indie games in your pocket: arcade shooters, platformers, puzzlers, RPGs, roguelikes and playable demos, all in that unmistakable low-res, high-charm PICO-8 style. https://pixl8.dev What you get: • A growing library of games, added with their authors' permission and playable right away. • Library, Favourites and Recent tabs for your own collection. • Per-cart actions on long-press: open the BBS page, resume game, start fresh game, manage save states. • Cross-platform multiplayer: play with friends on other devices, over local Wi-Fi or the internet.
