Which 0x72 Tools Can You Run in the Browser?

Updated

Several 0x72 tools can be launched directly in the browser without downloading anything. On the 0x72 itch.io profile, the items marked "Run in browser" include pixeldudesmaker, tilesetssplitter, PaperDungeonMaker, 2BitCharactersGenerator, JustMakeALevel, brainiac, and CirclesWorld. The first five are small asset and level utilities; the last two are playable games. If you only need to generate a character, split a tileset, or sketch a level, you can start from the browser versions and skip the download step.

Browser tools listed on the profile

Tool What it does Browser label
pixeldudesmaker Pixel art character generator Run in browser
tilesetssplitter Splits tilesets into separate files Run in browser
PaperDungeonMaker Dungeon-making tool Run in browser
2BitCharactersGenerator 2-bit character generator Run in browser
JustMakeALevel Level-making tool Run in browser
brainiac A brainfuck game Play in browser
CirclesWorld Game about shooting aliens Play in browser

The page shows these as browser-playable entries, so you can open them from the profile without a separate download. The page does not list system requirements or account restrictions for these tools, so treat the browser label as the main signal that they are meant to run in-page.

How to use them

  1. Open the 0x72 profile on itch.io and find the tool by name.
  2. Click the entry that carries the "Run in browser" or "Play in browser" label.
  3. Use the tool in the page; for generators like pixeldudesmaker or 2BitCharactersGenerator, the expected result is a generated sprite or character you can then save or export.
  4. For tilesetssplitter, the expected result is your tileset broken into separate image files.

If a tool does not load in the browser, the page does not document a fallback, so the practical check is whether the entry still shows the browser label.

What is not browser-based

The profile also lists downloadable and paid items, such as 16x16 DungeonTileset II - Sewers ($2), Warp Defender ($2), and free tilesets like 16x16 Dungeon Tileset, μFantasy Tileset, and 16x16 Industrial Tileset. These are assets rather than browser tools, so the "run in browser" shortcut does not apply to them. The page shows prices for the paid items but does not state licensing or download terms beyond that.

Practical choice

  • Need a quick character or sprite: start with pixeldudesmaker or 2BitCharactersGenerator in the browser.
  • Need to break up a tileset: use tilesetssplitter in the browser.
  • Need to block out a dungeon or level: try PaperDungeonMaker or JustMakeALevel.
  • Want to play something small: brainiac and CirclesWorld are marked "Play in browser."

For anything not marked as browser-playable, plan on downloading the asset or game instead.
