Brick Break

Pixel art brick break for a 2D platformer: the hero head-butts a brick block, which flashes and bursts into four spinning chunks, crumbs and dust, then pops back. Mario-style, loops.

Brick Break is a pixel art effect that loops seamlessly every 1.6 seconds, drawn on a 144 by 160 canvas at 3x pixels with the Endesga 32 palette. It is built from 18 particle emitters.

Free download with a transparent background, cropped to the effect, 48 frames at 30 fps. Use it in commercial games, no credit needed.

USING IT IN YOUR GAME

Phaser, PixiJS

Godot 4, GameMaker, Aseprite
Open it in the studio and pick your engine in Export: it writes the files that engine imports.
