Critical Chance Buff

A critical chance buff: a gold reticle closes on the character and locks with a flash, a burst of focus lines and sharp glints, while gold chevrons climb. Plays once per loop.

Critical Chance Buff is an HD effect that loops seamlessly every 1.5 seconds, drawn on a 320 by 320 canvas. It is built from 11 particle emitters. Most layers blend additively, so it glows on dark backgrounds.

HOW IT'S MADE

Critical Chance Buff stacks 11 particle emitters, each with its own job. Techniques worth a look: particles stretched along their motion and post filters (bloom and vignette).

It loops seamlessly every 1.5 s, and 11 of its layers fire in bursts, so it pulses instead of flowing evenly. Start times are staggered from 0 s to 0.3 s, so the layers arrive one after another. To change its colour, select "Lock Gleam" 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.

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.

Step by step: Unity, Godot 4, Roblox, GameMaker, Phaser and PixiJS, Aseprite, Web games (live runtime). Drawn with additive blending: see glow effects without a black box.
