Ever wanted to create an avatar picture for forums, Facebook or other social media with 8-bit look? There are many options available and now there's one more for Android so you can create your avatar directly on your phone. 8-bit Avatar Maker by Tokuloko Games is a free app with very functional design. It was inspired by a website that creates similar avatars: http://8biticon.com/
There are over 40 million combinations available but setting the desired look is simple. It works in a similar way as assembling a police portrait. There's not much to it, but it does exactly what it is suppossed to do.
The app creator is very responsible to requests - the early version allowed only to create images randomly - not so much of an avatar creator - but after users complained, the creator swiftly came with a new version with all the customizations.
Also on my tablet the game looked very bad. Notice the filtering that makes the image blurry and totally not 8-bit like on the left picture. It took the author only a day to give me a special version to test and after I confirmed the picture is now correct, it went straight to Google Play (new version, picture on the right).
The first image in this article is my attempt to create my 8-bit avatar ;) If you'd like to create your own, check this app in Google Play Store!
