Elemental Spells – Pixel Art VFX: Fire, Ice & Lightning [15 effects]

Fifteen pixel art spell effects in three elements: fire, ice and lightning. Every element comes with a projectile, an impact, a charge loop, an area spell and a status loop, so you can build a complete spell from cast to hit.

At a glance: Elemental Spells is a pixel art VFX asset pack with 15 animated spell effects for 2D games: fire, ice and lightning, each with a projectile, an impact, a charge loop, an area spell and a status loop. Effects are transparent PNG strips (32×32 to 64×96 px, 6–10 frames), with every frame as a separate PNG, Aseprite sources and a JSON file with frame sizes, fps and anchor points. It works in Godot, Unity, GameMaker, Construct, RPG Maker and any engine that plays sprite animations.

FAQ

Does it work in Godot, Unity or GameMaker? Yes. Each effect is a horizontal PNG strip plus single frames; the JSON file lists frame size, frame count, fps, loop flag and the anchor point (projectile head, hit point, or ground point), so effects line up without guesswork.

Do the effects match a character pack? They were made to fit the Dungeon Warriors heroes (80×64 frames), but work with any pixel art game.

Can I recolor them? Yes: the Aseprite files keep every effect editable, one tag per effect.

Can I use them in a commercial game? Yes, in any number of free or paid games. You only may not resell or redistribute the effects themselves.

Is there a free version? Yes: the free sample has the fireball, the fire explosion and the burning loop.
