Retro Pixel

Chunky retro pixel effects with limited palettes, for games that look like the 8 and 16-bit eras. All 10 are free to download as GIF, APNG or PNG spritesheets, or to open in the studio and change.

Sword ArcThree-hit sword combo: path-riding blade tips paint thick ice-blue crescents with a white hot edge.ThunderclapThick pixel lightning slams the ground after a faint stepped leader: sky flash, spiky impact star.Beam-InMega Man style beam-in: a pixel laser column slams down, base rings stack up.Bubble ShieldPixel bubble shield: pellets strike an invisible solid collider and spawn ripples.Smoke BombThrown smoke bomb bounces with a spitting fuse, then pops (onDeath) into three-tone layered smoke discs.SplashdownA drop plunges into water: onCollide jet and crown droplets that fall back and ripple.Dust DevilDesert whirlwind: sand discs ride a conical helix path so the funnel forms from their motion.Will-o'-WispTwo ghost flames chase each other on a figure-eight path: flame tongues that lean back as they fly.Ice ShatterFrost converges into a faceted crystal that swells, flickers and shatters: flash, frost ring.Boss DefeatBoss death finale: detonators build a chain of flat-disc blasts via onBirth events, then a white-out.
