Ghost Possession

Possession effect for a 2D character sprite: a ghost swoops in trailing violet afterimages and dives into it with a glitch, a shake and a flash; it turns dark violet with a glow creeping in from its edges, glowing eyes and rising wisps, until the spirit tears back out. Loops. Swap in your own sprite. Sprite made with SpriteLab.

Ghost Possession is an HD effect that loops seamlessly every 2.8 seconds, drawn on a 320 by 320 canvas. It is built from 6 particle emitters. Most layers blend additively, so it glows on dark backgrounds.

Free download with a transparent background, cropped to the effect, 84 frames at 30 fps. Use it in commercial games, no credit needed.

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, GameMaker, Phaser and PixiJS, Aseprite, Web games (live runtime). Drawn with additive blending: see glow effects without a black box.
