Money Tree Shake

Shaking a money tree in an idle game: the canopy glints as leaves burst and flutter down and gold coins drop in two waves to bounce and clink on the ground, with a few banknotes. Plays once; the tree is a stand-in.

Money Tree Shake is an HD effect that loops seamlessly every 2.2 seconds, drawn on a 512 by 512 canvas. It is built from 5 particle emitters.

Free download with a transparent background, cropped to the effect, 66 frames at 30 fps. Use it in commercial games, no credit needed.

Licence: use it in any project, including paid commercial games such as a game sold on Steam. There is no per-project licence to buy and no credit needed. Terms.

Roblox: the download is a flipbook for a ParticleEmitter. Set FlipbookLayout to Grid8x8, FlipbookMode to OneShot and Lifetime to 2.2, then emit one particle per cycle. Roblox setup.

HOW IT'S MADE

Money Tree Shake is a compact effect made from 5 particle emitters. Techniques worth a look: sub-emitters set off by other particles, collisions, keyframed parameters and post filters (bloom). 2 scene layers (ground and props) show in the studio for context and stay out of every export.

It loops seamlessly every 2.2 s, and 2 of its layers fire in bursts, so it pulses instead of flowing evenly. Start times are staggered from 0 s to 0.24 s, so the layers arrive one after another. To change its colour, select "Leaves" in the studio and edit Colour A and Colour B. Size on the same layer sets how big its particles are.

Layers, in draw order

  1. Canopy Glintsparticles / additiveA stream of stars across a box, its rate keyframed over the loop. They swell and then shrink away. Colours range between white and pale gold.
  2. LeavesparticlesA stream of leaves and petals across a box, its rate keyframed over the loop. They fall under gravity, sway from side to side, spin and slow down with drag. Colour: green.
  3. Falling Coinsparticles2 timed bursts of coins and gems across a box, 17 in all. They set off "Coin Clinks" on impact, fall under gravity, bounce when they hit something and grow as they age. Colour: white.
  4. Coin Clinksparticles / additiveStars set off by "Falling Coins". They swell and then shrink away. Colours range between white and pale gold.
  5. NotesparticlesOne burst of 4 rings across a box at 0.24 s. They fall under gravity, sway from side to side, spin and slow down with drag. Colour: white.

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.

Step by step: Unity, Godot 4, Roblox, GameMaker, Phaser and PixiJS, Aseprite, Web games (live runtime).
