Insect Swarm

Insect swarm: a buzzing cloud of flies or locusts loops a figure-eight path, clustering and scattering with wing glints over a dusty haze. Seamless 2D loop for swamps, plague spells or ambience.

Insect Swarm is an HD effect that loops seamlessly every 3 seconds, drawn on a 512 by 384 canvas. It is built from 4 particle emitters.

Free download with a transparent background, cropped to the effect, 90 frames at 30 fps. Use it in commercial games, no credit needed.

USING IT IN YOUR GAME

Phaser, PixiJS

Unity
Import the PNG sheet as a Sprite with Mode set to Multiple and slice it, or open the effect in the studio for a ready-made grid.
Godot 4, GameMaker, Aseprite
Open it in the studio and pick your engine in Export: it writes the files that engine imports.
Web and chat
The GIF plays anywhere; the APNG keeps soft edges on any background.
