Pixel Builder

I stumbled upon sprite stacking as an art form and was deeply captivated by its unique aesthetic and creative possibilities. To share the joy of sprite stacking with fellow pixel art and creative expression enthusiasts like myself, I developed this software to provide a simple yet fully-featured creative environment.

This software supports real-time 2D/3D preview, multiple layers with three-view drawing, and common pixel tools, making it easy for everyone to freely create their own sprite stacking artworks.
