Bubble Shield

Pixel bubble shield: pellets strike an invisible solid collider and spawn ripples, hex flares and deflected sparks while the dithered bubble jelly-wobbles on each hit.

Bubble Shield is a pixel art effect that loops seamlessly every 2 seconds, drawn on a 192 by 192 canvas at 3x pixels with the Sweetie 16 palette. It is built from 14 particle emitters.

Free download with a transparent background, cropped to the effect, 60 frames at 30 fps. Use it in commercial games, no credit needed.
