Poison dart trap

A pressure plate clicks and a carved pillar fires three poison darts that thunk into a plank wall and stick there, splashing poison and splinters.

Poison dart trap is an HD effect that loops seamlessly every 1.8 seconds, drawn on a 512 by 512 canvas. It is built from 17 particle emitters. Some particles draw ribbon trails.

Free download with a transparent background, cropped to the effect, 54 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.
Web and chat
The GIF plays anywhere; the APNG keeps soft edges on any background.
