It's also free software (MIT License) and available offline. https://github.com/pmgl/microstudio/releases

So less like Pico-8 or TIC-80, and more like Quadplay?

TIC-80 is also libre, though precompiled "Pro" binaries aren't gratis.

Edit: actually, reading https://github.com/morgan3d/quadplay/blob/main/LICENSE.md it looks like it's only partially free (not unlike markdeep, another of the author's projects).

Thank you for this. I was frustrated to scan the linked page and still not know what it was.

But I will give them credit: Clicking the top-left icon immediately brings you to a page with that clear tagline and some nice images.
