Details
- 68 sprite sheets in 6 folders. Frames run left to right, top to bottom, and every cell is square.
- Cell sizes: 192 px (55 sheets), 256 px (11 sheets) and 128 px (2 sheets). 12 to 48 frames per effect, drawn for 30 frames per second.
- Transparent PNG with straight (non-premultiplied) alpha.
- 12 sheets are flagged as loops in sheets.json and repeat seamlessly (the ten named _loop plus coin_spin_gold and coin_spin_silver); everything else plays once.
- 17 sheets (glows, sparkles, lightning, fireworks) are marked "additive": true in sheets.json: they look best with additive blending on dark backgrounds and also work with normal blending.
- confetti_fall_loop tiles vertically, line_blast_h tiles horizontally and line_blast_v vertically, so they can be repeated to cover any width or height.
- sheets.json lists frame count, cell size, columns, rows, fps and loop flag for every sheet.
Formats and engines
- Transparent PNG sprite sheets, sorted by category, usable in any engine.
- sheets.json with frame count, cell size, columns, rows, fps and loop flag for every sheet.
- A Godot 4 project you can open and play, with the addon in Godot/addons/crisp_vfx.
Works with: Godot 4 (4.3 or newer): copy the addon folder into your project and drag an effect scene into your level; each scene is one Sprite2D that plays when it appears and removes itself when it finishes. Unity, GameMaker, Construct, Phaser and others: import a sheet and slice it as a grid using the cell size from sheets.json (Unity: Sprite Mode Multiple, Slice, Grid By Cell Size; GameMaker: Import Strip Image; Phaser: load.spritesheet with frameWidth and frameHeight), then play the frames at 30 fps.
Free sampler
The free sampler has 8 of the 68 effects, with sheets.json and the Godot 4 project: gem_burst_blue, match_pop_pink, star_burst_gold, coin_burst_gold, confetti_burst_01, ring_shockwave_white, tap_ripple and sparkle_twinkle_white_loop.
The free itch.io page also hosts the playable browser demo of the full pack.
