The graphics aspect of the tool receives mixed reviews; while some users appreciate its functionality for improving top-down game visuals and simplifying collision detection, others criticize its unconventional layout and limited pixel art capabilities, suggesting that artists would be better off using dedicated software like Photoshop or GraphicsGale for creating game art. Overall, it seems more suited for prototyping rather than serious game development.
- “Firstly, why use this odd custom window/layout type graphic.”
- “It's not even very good pixel art software in the first place; most people would be better off making the art in Photoshop or GraphicsGale then exporting it to this because nobody is going to be making their art on it.”
- “If you are serious about making games, you won't use this. Maybe for prototyping (if you can be bothered with the weird layout and graphics they have used), but you will always be better off making the art yourself by hand.”
