Angel Halo

Angel halo loop: a flat gold ring with a breathing bloom, sparkles riding around it and a soft fall of light dust. Put it over a hero for holy buffs.

Angel Halo is an HD effect that loops seamlessly every 2 seconds, drawn on a 256 by 160 canvas. It is built from 2 particle emitters. Most layers blend additively, so it glows on dark backgrounds.

HOW IT'S MADE

Angel Halo is a compact effect made from 2 particle emitters. Techniques worth a look: paths, keyframed parameters and post filters (bloom).

Every layer emits continuously and the 2 s loop closes seamlessly, so it can run for as long as you need. To change its colour, select "Halo Sparkles" in the studio and edit Colour A and Colour B. Size on the same layer sets how big its particles are. The colour swatches by the downloads recolour every layer at once.

Layers, in draw order

USING IT IN YOUR GAME

Phaser, PixiJS
The PNG sheet is a plain grid of frames that both can slice. A TexturePacker JSON atlas comes with a plan, from the studio.
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: with a plan, it writes the files that engine imports.
Web and chat
The GIF plays anywhere; the APNG keeps soft edges on any background.
Blend mode
This effect is made of light. For the same glow in your game, draw the sprite with additive blending, or export it on black from the studio for additive shaders.
