Description

The First Pico-8 Emulator on the App Store!

PicPic brings the charming world of Pico-8 games to your iPhone, letting you play thousands of tiny, handcrafted games natively on iOS.

What is Pico-8?

Pico-8 is a fantasy console, a creative platform with deliberate constraints that inspire developers to build small, expressive games in 128x128 pixels with a 16-color palette. The result is a massive library of free, community-made games spanning every genre.

Features:

Native Emulation – Play .p8 and .p8.png cartridges at full speed with audio.

Import Cartridges – Load games from Files, Safari, or import entire folders at once.

Touch Controls – On-screen D-pad or 360° analog joystick, designed for mobile play.

Multicart Games - Play larger adventures that span multiple cartridges.

Local Multiplayer - Share the fun with multi-controller support on cartridges built for more than one player.

Mouse & Touch Games – Play cartridges that use Pico-8's mouse/pointer input natively.

Save States – Save anytime and optionally enable autosave.

Game Library – Organize, add to favorites, search, and manage your cartridge collection.

Customizable Layout – Reposition and resize controls with the interactive editor.

Retro Aesthetic – Authentic 128×128 pixel display with the classic Pico-8 palette and optional filter.

Controller Support – Play with your favorite gamepad.

Keyboard Support – Full keyboard input on Mac and iPad.

Mac Support – Also runs natively on Mac M-Series.

Landscape Mode – Play in landscape or portrait at any time.

Haptic Feedback – Tactile response on every button press.

Personalization – Custom app icons and console themes, including OLED Black and Retro.

Starter Games – A few great games included so you can play right away.

Optimized for iPad – Adaptive layouts for all screen sizes.

No Ads – Clean, uninterrupted play.

How It Works:

Import Pico-8 cartridge files into your library. PicPic runs games natively: no web views, no streaming, no internet required.
