- The editor uses a 24 × 16 pixel board; the embedded player is listed as 3.9 KB gzipped.
Field notes
The workflow stays in the browser: paint a character, build moves from poses, and assign triggers such as hover, click, a timer, or an event sent from site code. The page says mascots export as plain JSON data for a two-line embed, with GIF and PNG exports also available; it lists a 3.9 KB gzipped player and says it has no dependencies.
