Minisprite Engine
About this game
Bring your desktop to life
Minisprite Engine lets you place animated sprites, mascots, music, and small widgets directly on your desktop โ or behind it, as a living wallpaper.
A quiet, living desktop space โ coexisting with your work, not interrupting it.

๐งฐ Ready Out of the Box
A black-cat mascot greets you on first launch โ your desktop already has a companion.
Six small tools come bundled too โ a Pomodoro timer, a sticky note, a calendar, a calculator, tic-tac-toe, and Lippy (a character whose mouth moves with your microphone).
And through Steam Workshop, creators bring clocks, alarms, visualizers, mini-games โ many more characters and tools arriving all the time.
๐ฌ Made for Streaming Setups
A companion on your desktop is a companion in your stream โ a tiny mascot your viewers will notice
Drop a favorite meme clip in the corner and your stream feels more alive
A Pomodoro timer or sticky note works as a small live-stream HUD โ almost by accident

A built-in editor turns any image, GIF, video, or Aseprite file into a Workshop-ready asset โ no external tools needed.
