Pixel Bars Free - Health Bars Sampler

Free pixel-art health, mana and boss bars that already behave like a game's. Drop a PixelBar node in, pick a fill and set its value: it flashes when hit, leaves a trail that drains, pulses when low, and splits into segments if you want. Hearts, orbs and cooldown rings come with it.

Pixel Bars has eight frame styles (wood, stone, sky, forest, royal, ember, gilded and cyan) and eight fills (adding XP, shield, rage, magic and poison), with 195 sprite sheets. Same files and names: install it over this one.

What's inside

• The wood style in 6 shapes: a bar, a thin bar, a vertical bar, a boss bar with a skull plate, a round orb and a cooldown ring.
• Health, mana and stamina fills for every shape, a pale damage trail and a glass glint for the orbs.
• Hearts, shields and stars: full, three-quarter, half, quarter and empty hearts, mini hearts, and shields and stars by halves.
• PixelBar, a TextureProgressBar that dresses itself from the kit: the fill runs over the track only, flashes on a hit, leaves a draining trail, pulses when low and takes segment marks.
• PixelHearts: a row of hearts from one value, blinking the ones a hit empties.
• A Godot Theme, so a plain ProgressBar takes the frame too, with HealthBar, ManaBar and StaminaBar variations.
• 12 sprite sheets for any engine: the bars filling up and taking a hit, the orbs filling, and a heart breaking, healing and beating, indexed in sheets/sheets.json.
• Unity version as its own download: the same art as sliced sprites, a PixelStatBar component, PixelHearts and a demo scene.

Compatibility

• Godot 4.3 to 4.7, tested on both ends.
• Forward+, Mobile and Compatibility renderers.
