Barkskin

Barkskin buff: bark plates fly in from every side and lock into a slowly turning shell around the target, sap glows along the seams, leaves sprout from the bark and the shell hardens with a pulse. For druid armour, wooden shields and defence buffs.

Barkskin is an HD effect that loops seamlessly every 2.6 seconds, drawn on a 384 by 384 canvas. It is built from 8 particle emitters.

Free download with a transparent background, cropped to the effect, 78 frames at 30 fps. Use it in commercial games, no credit needed.

Engine data for Unity, Godot, GameMaker and Aseprite comes with a plan: open it in the studio.

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.
