Cherry Blossom Drift

Cherry blossom drift: sakura petals flutter down on a soft breeze over pink bokeh, and twice a loop a gust sweeps a ribbon of petals across the frame. A seamless ambient overlay for title screens, shrines and spring levels.

Cherry Blossom Drift is an HD effect that loops seamlessly every 6 seconds, drawn on a 480 by 270 canvas. It is built from 6 particle emitters. Some particles draw ribbon trails.

Free download with a transparent background, cropped to the effect, 180 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.

Step by step: Unity, Godot 4, GameMaker, Phaser and PixiJS, Aseprite, Web games (live runtime).
