HOW IT'S MADE

Anime Meteor Ultimate stacks 16 particle emitters, each with its own job. Techniques worth a look: collisions, particles stretched along their motion, keyframed parameters and post filters (bloom and impact frames).

It loops seamlessly every 2.4 s, and 13 of its layers fire in bursts, so it pulses instead of flowing evenly. Start times are staggered from 0 s to 1.03 s, so the layers arrive one after another. To change its colour, select "Fire Trail" in the studio and edit the Colour over Life gradient. Size on the same layer sets how big its particles are.

Layers, in draw order

  1. Smoke TrailparticlesA stream of smoke puffs from a disc, its rate keyframed over the loop. They grow as they age, spin and slow down with drag. Colour: dark grey.
  2. Fire Trailparticles / additiveA stream of flames from a disc, its rate keyframed over the loop. They spin. Colour runs from white to orange over each life.

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.
