Rarity Reveal Beam

A rarity reveal beam climbs through the tiers every half second, white, green, blue, purple, then gold, growing thicker with a ring at each step, and ends in a gold flash with flung stars. Plays once before a loot or gacha reveal.

Rarity Reveal Beam is an HD effect that loops seamlessly every 3 seconds, drawn on a 512 by 512 canvas. It is built from 9 particle emitters, 1 laser beam and 6 glowing strokes. Most layers blend additively, so it glows on dark backgrounds.

HOW IT'S MADE

Rarity Reveal Beam is drawn with 6 glowing strokes, lines with a hot core and a soft glow traced along their shapes, plus 9 particle emitters. Techniques worth a look: laser beams, particles stretched along their motion, keyframed parameters and post filters (bloom).

It loops seamlessly every 3 s, and 7 of its layers fire in bursts, so it pulses instead of flowing evenly. Start times are staggered from 0 s to 2.12 s, so the layers arrive one after another. To recolour the line, select "Floor Ring" and change Core and Glow; Start and End set how much of it is drawn. The colour swatches by the downloads recolour every layer at once.

Layers, in draw order

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.
