✨ GAME FEEL IMPROVEMENTS ✨

• 🏀 Squash and Stretch - Improve the feedback when players land or jump, making an originally solid sprite now soft and malleable.

• 💥 Hit Flash - Emphasize impacts by flashing the sprite a certain color, then fading back to normal. Good for fighting games, simulating fire/poison effects, etc.

• 🥊 Squishy Collision - Soft colliders with repulsive force. Useful for large groups of enemies and congregating crowds.

• 🏎️ Sprite Ghosting - Add sprite trails/ghosting for fast moving objects, dash abilities, etc.

• 🚶 Move Wobble - Animate rotation to add life to otherwise static movement.

• 🎥 Screen Shake - Shake the camera in both rigid and smooth motion.

• 💎 Item Bobbing - Bob items up and down smoothly and fake Y rotation to draw the player's eye.

• 🏞️ Parallax - Create dynamic backgrounds with simulated depth and infinite scrolling.

• 🥶 Freeze Frame - Pause the game momentarilly to emphasize impacts.

🎨 CUSTOM SPRITE SHADER 🎨

The included master shader can improve the visuals of your games, by improving upon the default sprite shader.

• Outline - Render colored outlines of varying thickness around your sprites.

• Distortion - Distort your sprites to make them shimmer and to simulate heat waves.

• Hit Flash - Change the color of the sprite and fade it out over time.
