Tower Upgrade

A tower upgrade for Roblox tower defense games: a gold ring flashes on the ground, three bold chevrons climb a column of light one after another, and a star flare pops at the top.

Tower Upgrade is an HD effect that loops seamlessly every 1.6 seconds, drawn on a 512 by 512 canvas. It is built from 10 particle emitters. Most layers blend additively, so it glows on dark backgrounds.

Free download with a transparent background, cropped to the effect, 48 frames at 30 fps. Use it in commercial games, no credit needed.

Roblox: the download is a flipbook for a ParticleEmitter. Set FlipbookLayout to Grid8x8, FlipbookMode to OneShot and Lifetime to 1.6, then emit one particle per cycle. Roblox setup.
