Pixel Art Autumn Leaves Loop: A seamless pixel-art loop of gold, orange and red leaves that flip and flutter down from a dark canopy in a gusting breeze, then land, settle and fade, under low warm sun shafts.

Pixel Art Autumn Leaves Loop

A seamless pixel-art loop of gold, orange and red leaves that flip and flutter down from a dark canopy in a gusting breeze, then land, settle and fade, under low warm sun shafts. Use it as a weather overlay or level dressing for autumn forests in platformers and RPGs; it also tiles left to right.

Pixel Art Autumn Leaves Loop is a pixel art effect that loops seamlessly every 4 seconds, drawn on a 432 by 336 canvas at 3x pixels. It is built from 12 particle emitters.

Free download with a transparent background, cropped to the effect, 120 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 square, seamless texture for a Beam that runs bottom to top, its bottom edge at Attachment0. Set TextureMode to Wrap and TextureLength to the Width; TextureSpeed scrolls it from Attachment0 to Attachment1. Roblox setup.

HOW IT'S MADE

Pixel Art Autumn Leaves Loop is pixel art, drawn at 3x pixels so it sits on the same grid as your sprites, and built from 12 particle emitters. Techniques worth a look: sub-emitters set off by other particles, flipbook sprites, collisions, turbulence and post filters (bloom). 6 scene layers (ground and props) show in the studio for context and stay out of every export.

Every layer emits continuously and the 4 s loop closes seamlessly, so it can run for as long as you need. To change its colour, select "Sun shaft" in the studio and edit Colour A and Colour B. Size on the same layer sets how big its particles are. Pixel size in the Pixel art panel sets how chunky it looks.

Layers, in draw order

  1. Low sun glow, Sun shaft, Sun shaft +1particles / additiveA single long-lived particle that stays for the whole loop.
  2. Landed leaves, Landed leaves, Landed leavesparticlesRings set off by "Falling leaves". They play a flipbook animation and slow down with drag. Colour: white.
  3. Landing dustparticlesPixels set off by "Falling leaves". They fall under gravity. Colours range between orange and deep orange.
  4. Falling leaves, Falling leaves, Falling leavesparticlesA steady stream of rings across a box. They set off "Landed leaves" on impact, set off "Landing dust" on impact, fall under gravity and drift sideways. Colour: white.
  5. Dust motesparticles / additiveA steady stream of pixels across a box. They drift sideways, sway from side to side and slow down with drag. Colour: pale 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.

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