App Description

Become a Qixel animator in seconds with with Qixel Animate!

Great for retro games fans who like 8bit pixel graphics and artists who want to practice character design for Minecraft skins.

- Add music loops when you play back your animations
- Save your animations to a gallery
- Designed to be easy to use on mobiles and tablets for simple repeat play
