Hey everyone!

Here's a new update of PicPic, the first native PICO-8 emulator on the App Store and Google Play Store. It's now available on Apple Watch (because literally everyone requested it). You can also now directly import from the web, use a controller in the menu, and more.

New Features & Bug Fixes:

• You can now play on your Apple Watch with any game compatible with the iPhone version (it's 1:1). I'm working on an Android version too :)
• You can use your controller to select games in the menu (and exit games), so you no longer need to touch the screen to change games.
• You can now directly import from the share sheet when you're on a .p8 or .p8.png file online, no longer need to download then import.
• You can now enable and disable buttons and the title on the game screen.
• Improved game compatibility, and as always, ongoing work in this area.

Next Update Plans:

• I'm still working on fully supporting multi-cart games (which is taking more time than I estimated due to the sandbox on iOS).
• Add a theme maker.
• Improve compatibility with more games.
• Translate the app into more languages (the next update will include German, French, Korean, and Japanese).

The app is forever 100% FREE, with NO ADS, on both iOS and Android, and completely UNLIMITED.

Download / Update:

Available now on the Google Play Store and the Apple App Store.

Happy to answer any questions.

Note for moderation: Thanks for allowing PicPic on the sub. As always, the app does not encourage piracy. It does not contain a single line of code from PICO-8.
