EXPORT then IMPORT fails

Mon, 15 Feb 2021 19:49:51 UTC

This is with the current latest release v0.2.2 on macOS 11.2.1 (if that's relevant):

If I try to export a sprite sheet, then modify it in an external program, then import it, I get a "could not load" error message. It also doesn't seem to matter whether I modify it externally, since export sprites.png and then import sprites.png shows the same error. Nothing seems to be logged to stdout or stderr.

Shark

Looking for feedback on my first real PICO-8 game. I have some background music (inspired by Jaws) and a lovely shark sprite-set + some little fishies. The shark chomps with the Z-button. Otherwise no other functionality is implemented yet.
