HOW IT'S MADE

Halftone Dot Transition stacks 7 particle emitters, each with its own job. One technique stands out: keyframed parameters.

It loops seamlessly every 2.4 s, and 7 of its layers fire in bursts, so it pulses instead of flowing evenly. Start times are staggered from 0.2 s to 0.4 s, so the layers arrive one after another. To change its colour, select "Dot row" 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.
