2D Pixel Art Character Template Asset Pack
A downloadable asset pack
Please do me a favor and give a RATE / follow if you like what you see here & want to see more content like this!
Hello! I originally created this asset because I was working on prototyping projects myself and kept finding myself needing specific animations that were not easily available. I figured I would put out a comprehensive 2D pixel art asset pack that might help you get your game off the ground and running in the right direction especially if you struggle with the art side of things as a solo developer. You can add your own life/character to it and modify it however fits your game best.
Please note: I won't be providing any unity files or scripts. This asset pack is only graphical assets.
If you do end up using this for a project let me know/give me a shout-out b/c the exposure helps and honestly, I would also love to see the results!
Cheers!
My new Top-Down template character asset pack:
A fully-drawn character that people will not have to customize/draw themselves:
Small Project I made if you're interested in giving it a try. Far from perfect, but 100% my own assets and code so that's something I'm very proud of:
Aseprite Files & Sprite Sheets will be available for all animations..

Suggestion for a wall kick animation. So instead of the regular jump animation for wall jumping, it kicks off
What looks too similar? My animations are all original and the dates when they were created are documented in the development log.
Looking forward to hearing back from you.
I will use it well Thanks
This is peak, too bad I'm broke
it is literally one dollar
I didn't say almost broke
yeah fair enough
1$ is way too cheap for this high quality. Thank you.
Already bought your pack, this is amazing work!
Could you please add these from you list as priorities? :D
Thanks and looking forward to continue encouraging your work!
will you add Katana idle one day??
And this is sick!! will be buying soon for sure
Is this the one used in katana zero?
Just wanted to ask if I am allowed to use these for commercial purposes after I have paid for them?

"You must give appropriate credit , provide a link to the license, and indicate if changes were made . You may do so in any reasonable manner, but not in any way that suggests the licensor endorses you or your use."
If you're willing to sell any video-games or digital content in which contains this base pack, you would need appropriate credits (artist, link, etc.) and you're not allowed to claim it as your own.
But yes, you can.
Make a plunge attack for the sword and the katana
*please
yes
Thank you for the great animation pack
Any chance could add a backstep animation?
The walk sprite back arm is fucked
In what way exactly? Happy to take a look
Front leg in Run is also a mess and there's pieces of it in other layers
How do i imploment katana attack running animation in godot?
Just purchased :) I have been losing my mind trying to animate sprites for an upcoming project and was led here after watching Game Code Library's video - thank you so much everything looks amazing and has given me new hope <3
Thank you so much. I used this in my game. I loved it. Thank you.
Can you make free DL pls cuz I'm broke ass hell
It's one buck, come on...
Me too , come on...
no I meant it's only one buck
if ur so broke, than what are u doing making pixel art instead of working!? and if this is ur job ur employer better know ur using other peoples art!
you cannot be serious my friend don't do this seriously you gotta be able to appreciate peoples hard work.
how do you use the katana run attack
This might help explain it
Thank you
An excellent resource just purchased. Do you do commission work at all? I have a player character that needs animations. Have a pixel art character still frame aprox 32x32 pixels. Anyway Top Stuff.
I really liked the work you did!
Some animation ideas:
- A new animation tree can be generated for swimming.
- Idle variations: bored, sitting on ground, leaning to a wall etc.
I love checking in on this pack every couple months to see progress. Really amazing work. Keep at it!
I wish there was a normal descending stairs animation
Is there another way to pay my country banned paying with visa
paypal automaticlly translates currency
Hey absolutely love this!
Any chance for a top down one in the future?
May I know where are the other animations? I am missing some katana animations such as katana walk, katana attack or am i missing an announcement or something? and also other images are missing their lower bodies, I dont know if they're supposed to be since im new to unity, I don't even know how to work with aseprite files. Hoping to be answered
also thanks to this very great animations!
this is great all the anamations are awesome
Awesome work! It's a pity can't buy it in my country ;(
Incredible useful! A must have!
This pack makes it possible to skip the entire animation part (which can be a block in the road for some) and jump straight into coding - with immediate visual results.
I do wish a rifle shooting animation somehow sneaks itself into the collection. However, the pistol animations are awesome and can easily work as a placeholder.
GET IT!
This asset pack is probably one of the most useful packs I have ever gotten, I constantly reuse this for placeholders in my game, thank you for making this!
that amazing
This is absolutely fantastic, and I think it will be perfect for my project. Thank you so much. I appreciate the hard work that must have gone into creating this—I've attempted to make something similar myself a few times but had to give up.
I noticed that you already have a considerable list of requests, but would you be willing to add a couple more? Specifically, I was hoping you could include forward and backward walking and fighting animations (using W & S, or up and down) for an angled top-down game. Additionally, it would be great to have sitting animations as well.
I know this is for platformers and metroidvania games, but as I mentioned earlier, this is exactly the type of character animation I needed for my project. Thank you!
Love these! Have purchased.
Could I request the following for future releases
Fall animation (as in falling down a shaft a long distance to your death)
Crouch animation on all fours through a tight tunnel
Hi, i want a run sprite but not like regular run animations i want to character running like marathon runner. Like he is running for his life.
cool
