Pixly
Pixly is a complete game development-oriented pixel art and animation editor for Android devices. Pixly is out now and free. Pixly is accessible, anyone can download it for free from the Play Store and start pixeling right away. It has no ads at all, and will never be behind a paywall. Some interfaces work great when you have a keyboard to help you use shortcuts, but then, when working on a touchscreen, the good experience goes down the drain. That's why Pixly was made for touch screens, You have easy access to important features with gestures that feel natural. For example, even though the "color picker" tool is there, you can pretty much pick colors just by dragging from the color selector to the artboard. Switching between two tools every time? Eraser then brushes, then eraser, then brush, then eraser. Don't think doing that without a keyboard will be hard. Every change goes through the memento system, and you can undo everything. It works seamlessly for batch operations.
