One click and it moves

Pick a character, pick a move. Walk, run, attack, or type your own. PixelLab animates it with skeleton-based control, so the frames stay on-model instead of melting between poses.

Whole scenes, not just sprites

Describe what should happen and the scene comes alive: campfires flicker, water moves, backgrounds breathe. Then generate the tileset and the UI in the same palette, so nothing in your game looks borrowed.

Fix it without redrawing it

True inpainting: PixelLab sees the whole image while it edits a patch, so a new hat or a different weapon lands in the right style and the rest of the sprite stays exactly as it was.

And now it builds the game too

New this month: a game builder, so the assets you make go straight into something playable. Fresh tutorial from the PixelLab team:
