Plasma Pixel VFX — 10 Animated Effects

10 plasma effects for your 2D game

Each effect comes as a transparent sprite sheet with a JSON file for frame timing and the pivot point. Import it, set your filter to nearest-neighbour, and it should play at the right speed straight away.

In the download

• 10 sprite sheets (PNG, 422 frames in total)
• JSON for each sheet, in the same format Aseprite exports
• A GIF preview of each effect

Frames run from 120×32 up to 264×200 px. Shorter effects are 30 FPS, longer ones 15 to 20.

Engines

Anything that loads a sprite sheet will do: Godot, Unity, GameMaker, Phaser, Defold, LÖVE, Construct. The glow is baked into the colors, so these look best on dark backgrounds. On a bright scene you may want them on a darker layer.

Before you buy

7 of the 10 are recolors of effects that also appear in other packs here, so if you buy several you will see some shapes twice. The effects are based on the open-source pixelfx library (MIT). Its license is included in the zip.

Fine for personal and commercial games and videos, and you don't need to credit me. Please don't resell or share the files as an asset pack.
