Side-View Characters, moving preview

What it does for your game

  • No more sliding between animations: Every frame is 32x32 with the same bottom-centre pivot, so nothing slides when your character goes from run to jump to attack.
  • Picture the battle: Your knight lands in a puff of dust, swings through a skeleton with a smear, and the mage's fireball bursts into fire on an orc.
  • 10 characters, 8 animations: Idle, walk, run, jump, fall, attack, hurt and death facing both ways, with JSON hit frames, hitboxes and arrow and fireball spawn points.

10 side-view 32x32 pixel art characters with 8 animations each: idle, walk, run, jump, fall, attack, hurt and death (34 frames), facing right and left. Heroes and enemies for platformers, metroidvanias and side-view action RPGs.

Licence in one line: use them in your commercial games; do not resell the files.

What you get

  • 6 heroes: Knight, Swordswoman, Archer, Mage, Rogue, Barbarian.
  • 4 enemies: Skeleton, Goblin, Orc, Zombie.
  • Every character: idle 4, walk 6, run 6, jump 3, fall 2, attack 5, hurt 3, death 5 frames, facing right and facing left (68 frames).
  • Attacks per weapon: sword slash with a swing smear, axe chop, spiked club smash, dagger stab, claw swipe, bow draw and release, staff cast.
  • 27 effect frames: arrow, fireball (4 frames) and fire impact, hit spark, landing dust and running dust.

Made to drop in

  • One exact frame size: 32x32, feet on the bottom rows, the same pivot (bottom-centre) in every frame, so nothing slides when an animation changes.
  • One sheet per character in the same layout (6 x 16 frames), plus every frame as its own PNG.
  • JSON for every sheet: frame rectangles per animation and facing, fps, loop, pivot, the attack's hit frame and hitbox, and the spawn point for the arrow and the fireball.
  • 1x, 2x and 3x of everything, and a GIF of every character.

Not included (so you know)

  • Side view only, no top-down directions (see Gridwright Top-Down Characters for those).
  • One attack per character; no dash, roll, wall or ledge moves.
  • No Aseprite source files and no separate outfit layers: each character ships whole.

The battle screenshot stands on the Gridwright Platformer Tileset; every character and effect in it is from this pack.
