Minigun Spin-up: A rotary cannon spinning up and firing: the barrel whirls up to speed, a stream of muzzle flashes and tracers rips out, brass casings arc out and tink off the floor, and the hot barrel smokes as it winds down.

Minigun Spin-up

A rotary cannon spinning up and firing: the barrel whirls up to speed, a stream of muzzle flashes and tracers rips out, brass casings arc out and tink off the floor, and the hot barrel smokes as it winds down.

Minigun Spin-up is an HD effect that loops seamlessly every 2.4 seconds, drawn on a 384 by 224 canvas. It is built from 8 particle emitters. Most layers blend additively, so it glows on dark backgrounds.

Free download with a transparent background, cropped to the effect, 72 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.

OPEN IN THE STUDIO

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.
