Chi Strike

Chi strike for a monk sprite: golden chi gathers at the foot, the kick lands with a double shockwave, a burst of energy, speed lines and kicked-up dust. Loops. Swap in your own sprite. Sprite made with SpriteLab.

Chi Strike is an HD effect that loops seamlessly every 1.8 seconds, drawn on a 320 by 320 canvas. It is built from 7 particle emitters. Most layers blend additively, so it glows on dark backgrounds.

Free download with a transparent background, cropped to the effect, 54 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.

Drop in your own character with Use my sprite: it takes the hero's place at the same height and the whole effect follows it. Change the colours, timing or size, or export for Unity, Godot 4, GameMaker, Phaser, PixiJS and Aseprite.

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.
