Aseprite is a Software game for PC published by Igara Studio in 2016. The ps painting process is similar, but the functional interface is more complicated!
Aseprite PC Game 2016 review:
A system with many shortcut keys, layers, and settings of photoshop, reduces the cost of learning. Aseprite is completely for pixel painting and animation, and the interface is more focused on this positioning.

Aseprite is a pixel art tool that lets you create 2D animations for video games. If you want a cheap alternative to any other image editing software capable of animation – even GIMP, this program is for you. Aseprite is designed around pixel animation, which means it’s easy to add new frames. And if you’ve ever tried animating in GIMP, you’d know how much of a pain that can be. You can export sprite sheets from animations. You have onion skinning. It’s easy to make optimized color palettes. It even has a blur brush that can blur colors into other colors in your already defined optimized color palettes.
A really fun and easy-to-use program for making pixel art. Lots of people say it’s the best and so far we have to agree. Sadly, awesome drawing skills aren’t included with the package, we have to develop those ourselves somehow (curses!), but the very process of learning from Youtube tutorials is in itself absorbing and very entertaining. If you have an artistic interest and like pixel art.

- Compose sprites using layers & frames as separated concepts
- Create images in RGBA or Indexed color modes
- Open/Save GIF animations, sequence of PNG files, etc.
- A timeline where you can copy/move layers, frames, or specific images
- Animation tools: Real-time animation preview, onion skinning, tag frames
…
