Light landing dust for a small hop: two soft puffs roll out along the floor with a faint ring and a few hopping grains. Plays once per loop and settles.

Light Landing Dust is an HD effect that loops seamlessly every 0.9 seconds, drawn on a 256 by 256 canvas. It is built from 5 particle emitters.

HOW IT'S MADE

Light Landing Dust is a compact effect made from 5 particle emitters. One technique stands out: collisions. 2 scene layers (ground and props) show in the studio for context and stay out of every export.

It loops seamlessly every 0.9 s, and 5 of its layers fire in bursts, so it pulses instead of flowing evenly. To change its colour, select "Shock Ring" in the studio and edit the Colour over Life gradient. Size on the same layer sets how big its particles are.

Layers, in draw order

  1. Shock Ringparticles / additiveA single particle at 0.04 s. It grows as it ages. Colour runs from white to pale orange over each life.
  2. Floor Roll R, Floor Roll LparticlesOne burst of 8 smoke puffs along a line at 0.04 s. They grow as they age, spin and slow down with drag. Colour runs from white to pale orange over each life.
  3. Lift PuffsparticlesOne burst of 5 smoke puffs along a line at 0.04 s. They grow as they age, spin and slow down with drag. Colour runs from white to pale orange over each life.
  4. GrainsparticlesOne burst of 12 debris along a line at 0.04 s. They fall under gravity, bounce when they hit something and spin. Colour: orange.

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.
