- A developer has created a new Android launcher made for single- and double-screen gaming.
- The Android frontend is called “Blip” and it works with AYN, Retroid, AYANEO, and Anbernic devices. It also works on phones, tablets, and other devices that run Android 12 or later.
- The developer is also working on a feature called Blip Cloud, which backs up your saves and syncs them between different devices.
The Android handheld world is full of double-screen devices, like the Retroid Pocket Duo Lite Plus and AYN Thor. Anbernic even has a new one that could start shipping in December. While these devices already come with an Android frontend, you don’t have to settle for what came pre-installed. Enter Blip, a new Android launcher made for both single- and double-screen gaming.
As reported by Retro Dodo, a Spanish software engineer known as Endika is working on a new Android launcher called Blip. The frontend is designed to split the screen for games meant to be played on two displays, just as you would expect. In the case of single-screen experiences, the launcher will instead show things like game art, instruction booklets, or game info on the lower screen.
