I built an AI that generates pixel art sprite animations

Turns text prompts into looped pixel-sprite animations with on-site playback and spritesheet/GIF export, which is immediately useful for rapid prototyping. The live preview and palette controls feel catered to creators, but the real value will hinge on consistency across frames (same character, directional sprites) and granular timing/frame controls.
