"Let’s face it: at some point, every gamer has been caught off guard by the alluring retro beauty of pixel art. Say what you will about its overuse in today’s onslaught of independent games — chances are you still love it. There’s something majestic about the way tens, hundreds, or thousands of tiny dots come together to form a piece of art, and Two Kernel Connection knows it. The studio's new application, Pixel Paint, claims to offer a simple solution to all of your pixel-producing problems using the Wii U GamePad. It largely succeeds in that endeavour thanks to a simple interface, a healthy number of useful tools, and a fantastic budget price point; this little application is a no-brainer for anyone interested in making some pixelated masterpieces."
Over the last few years there has been a resurgence in interest regarding pixel art. Pixel Paint was originally released on the Wii U two years ago, and now Sanuk Games has brought their tool to the 3DS. With a few enhancements over the Wii U version, this certainly is an enjoyable application to use on the go.
As mentioned, it's not actually a game. Think MS paint but more streamlined with a relaxing song playing in the background :)
Pure Nintendo: "Pixel Paint delivers exactly what it promises, and all for just $3.99. What more could you honestly hope for? The program has a lot of potential, and is a fun and inexpensive way to dabble in pixel art. I feel like I’ve just scratched the surface of it. We at Pure Nintendo absolutely recommend downloading this new release – it’s an enjoyable title with many possibilities!"
