The question though is why does this look so appealing? I guess it's probably because in general we see motion as a proxy for if something is alive, since things that are alive are never completely still.
That's one of these ideas I wish I had come up with. It sounds fun to program, fun to use and even potentially useful to make cutesy gifs. I wasn't familiar with PICO8, it seems to effectively be a faux-retro console emulator that you can use as a sandbox to build programs (that can then be exported to a web player, which is quite nifty): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pico-8 Unfortunately it's a proprietary platform.
I haven't tried it out so I can't speak to the quality of it but there's the LIKO-12 as a free alternative: https://liko-12.github.io
If anyone else was unsure at first like me: Drag the left-most button downwards to access all the brush and paint options. This is awesome! I should really check out the PICO-8, or maybe something similar but open-source.
