Create 8-Bit Masterpieces with Sprite Something for iPad

If you’ve ever wanted to create those perfect 8-Bit sprites on your iPad, there’s an app for that. Ars Technica reviewed Sprite Something for the iPad, which allows young pixel lovers such as yourself to square off with your magical handheld. Apple and retro were practically made for each other, and Ars Technica agrees.

Pixel art is a finicky mistress: it’s difficult, time-consuming, and can be highly frustrating. It’s definitely not for everyone, but if it’s your thing, taking work along with you on an iPad is pretty awesome.

You can check out the full review here, but don’t forget to visit the iTunes App Store and grab your own copy of Sprite Something for only $2.99. A bargain for pixel pushers if you ask me.
