Emulator for Pico-8: Picpic

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:

• 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.
