Spear Thrust: Spear thrust: a tip glint, then a white-gold thrust line pierces across the frame with two wind strands spiralling around it, rings of pierced air a beat apart and a fan of sparks off the tip.

Spear Thrust

Spear thrust: a tip glint, then a white-gold thrust line pierces across the frame with two wind strands spiralling around it, rings of pierced air a beat apart and a fan of sparks off the tip.

Spear Thrust is an HD effect that loops seamlessly every 0.9 seconds, drawn on a 320 by 200 canvas. It is built from 12 particle emitters. Most layers blend additively, so it glows on dark backgrounds. Some particles draw ribbon trails.

Free download with a transparent background, cropped to the effect, 27 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.

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.
