Name: Sprite FX - 40 2D Shaders
Price: 3.59 USD

40 drop-in 2D shaders for Godot 4 and Unity, built for pixel art. Put any of them on a Sprite2D, AnimatedSprite2D or TextureRect from the inspector, or trigger them from code in one line. Godot 4.3 to 4.7, every renderer.

Try it first: click Run asset pack above and all 40 run in your browser; click a sprite to hit it.

SpriteFX.flash($Player)  # hit flash, material restored after
await SpriteFX.dissolve_out($Enemy).finished  # then queue_free()
SpriteFX.apply($Chest, &"glow_outline", {glow_color = Color.GOLD})

Unity too: a second download holds the Unity 6.3 package, for any render pipeline: the same 40 shaders and settings for SpriteRenderers, SpriteFX.Flash(sprite) in C#, with the demo scene.

What's inside

flash — hit flash to any colour	outline — pixel-perfect, outside or inside, 1–16 px
glow outline — soft, pulsing, HDR-ready	dissolve — noise or directional, glowing edge
burn — charred band and flickering embers	palette swap — up to 8 colours, enemy variants
silhouette — flat or shaded tint	pixelate — whole-pixel steps
wind sway — grass and trees, out of phase	shine — sweeping highlight for pickups and UI
hologram — scanlines, flicker, glitches	freeze — icy recolour, frost rim, glints
glitch — row jumps and RGB split	hue shift — static or rainbow cycling
stone — petrify, desaturate, sepia	wave — underwater, heat, dream
blink — invincibility frames	pulse tint — poison, heal, charge-up
jelly — squash and stretch from the base	gradient map — recolour through any gradient
chromatic — split channels, optional wobble	cloak — refracts what is behind it
rim light — directional inner edge light	invert — hit-stop negative frames
dither fade — pixel-art fade, no translucency	drop shadow — offset, hard or soft
adjust — brightness, contrast, saturation, tint	posterize — fewer colours, dithered, two-colour ramps
shake — hits, rage, a rattling chest	swirl — vortexes, sucked in, dizzy
electric — crackling arcs, flickering charge	fire aura — flames licking up behind the sprite
cracks — damage spreading from a point	motion blur — directional smear for dashes
teleport — rows squeeze into a beam of light	metal — gold, silver or bronze, with a glint
afterimage — fading copies trailing a dash	submerge — wading: wavy, tinted, foam line
disintegrate — blown away as drifting dust	cooldown — clock wipe for ability icons

Every parameter is a slider in the inspector, with sensible defaults.
Noise snaps to texture pixels, so dissolves and burns stay crisp on pixel art.
SpriteFX helper: flash, blink, dissolve_out/in, burn_out, dither_out/in, shake, teleport_out/in, disintegrate, cooldown, or animate any parameter of any effect with SpriteFX.animate(...). Effects restore your own material when done.
Outline, glow, shadow, flames, smears and dust can grow the sprite's quad, so unpadded sprites still get them whole.
Demo scene with every effect running; click a sprite to hit it.
