Pet Level Up

HOW IT'S MADE

Pet Level Up stacks 7 particle emitters, each with its own job. Techniques worth a look: glowing strokes traced along shapes, ribbon trails, paths, particles stretched along their motion and post filters (bloom). A scene layer (ground or a prop) shows in the studio for context and stays out of every export.

It loops seamlessly every 2 s, and 4 of its layers fire in bursts, so it pulses instead of flowing evenly. Start times are staggered from 0 s to 0.96 s, so the layers arrive one after another. To change its colour, select "Rising Chevrons" 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.

Layers, in draw order

1. Light Columnsprite / additiveA placed glow.
2. Rising Chevronsparticles / additive3 single particles at set times. They grow as they age and ease to a stop. Colours range between pale green and green.
3. Take-off Ring, Landing Ringstroke / additiveA glowing line traced along a circle.
4. Helix Ribbon, Helix Ribbonparticles / additiveA stream of ribbon trails, its rate keyframed over the loop. They travel along a path. Colour runs from pale green to green over each life.
5. Rising Sparklesparticles / additiveA stream of streaks from a disc, its rate keyframed over the loop. They slow down with drag. Colour runs from white to green over each life.
6. Star Flareparticles / additiveA single particle at 0.95 s. It swells and then shrinks away. It spins. Colours range between white and pale gold.
7. Heartsparticles / additiveOne burst of 6 hearts from a disc at 0.95 s. They sway from side to side, grow as they age and slow down with drag. Colour: pink.
8. Gold Starsparticles / additiveOne burst of 10 stars from a disc at 0.96 s. They swell and then shrink away, spin and slow down with drag. Colours range between white and gold.
