USER REVIEWS AND COMMENTS

Dan C

An open source program for doing 2d sprite animation for retro style video game graphics. It targets the 8 and 16 bit era in terms of graphical capabilities. The program requires Steam to install and run.

Robert

If you are making a game that requires 8 bit or 16bit quality sprites, this software is a must have. There are other sprite making softwares out there, but sometimes the ability to animate and save appropriate formats is not present. This one has it all, is available via Steam, and is free and open source. Good deal.

Theo

Asperite is a fun app where you can make icons and other personal creative graphics. I really enjoy using this app and making new creations and the app runs smoothly and can be used on multiple operating systems and for different purposes.

Cole Goldsmith

This software makes animation very very easy, simple and straightforward. I'm so surprised I only had to pay $15 for this compared to big expensive software that make you pay an arm and a leg!I totally recommend to any artist that wants to try out animation on a budget.
