Introducing PlayPainter!

(Early access drawing tool for PlayDate)

PlayPainter is the new way to create and draw sprites, graphics, and illustrations entirely from your PlayDate!

PlayPainter is basically my attempt at MacPaint for the Playdate! While not entirely feature complete yet, it provides a fun way to make pixel-art and sprites on the go! I've had fun working with it and I'm sure you will too!
