ℹ️ About

⚙️ How to use

🚀 ULTRA-LIGHTWEIGHT & MOBILE OPTIMIZED

Built with performance in mind. Unlike heavy skeletal systems or memory-consuming frame-by-frame animations, these characters are animated using simple Position & Rotation transforms of basic parts (Head, Body, Arms, Legs).

  • Zero Meshes / Zero Skinned Sprites: Virtually no CPU overhead.
  • Massive Battles Ready: Smoothly handles 100+ active characters on screen simultaneously—ideal for mobile devices!
  • Crisp Scaling: The 512x512 sprite sheet resolution looks stunning both as a large main hero in the center of the screen or as tiny units in a crowded Tower Defense map.

👑 EXPANSIVE CUSTOMIZATION (20+ Armor & 50+ Weapons)

Mix and match modular parts to create unique factions, heroes, and enemies. Every sprite comes in 2 variants: Front and Back views.

  • 20+ Armor Sets (Helmets, Chestplates, Shields, etc.)
  • 50+ Weapon Variants (Melee, Ranged, Magical)
  • Continuous Updates: This is a growing asset! We plan to release regular free updates with new sprites, weapons, and customization options.

🛠️ SMART TOP-DOWN FEATURES

  • Automated Y-Sorting Script Included: No more clipping issues! The package includes a ready-to-use C# script that dynamically adjusts the SortingOrder of the character's SortingGroup based on their Y-position as they move.
  • Pre-configured Layering: All modular parts are correctly ordered by default out of the box.
