To use 8x8 tilemaps, you need to import an extension. (see how to do that [here](https://forum.makecode.com/t/how-do-i-import-extensions-from-file/17396))  
You can either use the Tile util extension (built in, go to ‘Extensions’ in the toolbar, then scroll until you find it), or you can import the dedicated [small tilemaps](https://github.com/riknoll/small-tilemaps) extension.

Hope this helps!
