**Pixel Puppet** is an animation focused Aseprite script that allows users to place pivot points, connect them to layers or to each other in a chain, and apply transformations(scaling, shearing, rotation, and translation/movement) to the selected layer and frame’s current cel.

**General Usage**

Draw or import a static sprite, chop the sprite into pieces and put them on different layers, add as many nodes or pivot points as there are layers, position them, then connect the layers and pivots, manipulate the two to make an animation. Then clean up as necessary.
