10 side-view 32x32 pixel art characters with 8 animations each: idle, walk, run, jump, fall, attack, hurt and death (34 frames), facing right and left. Heroes and enemies for platformers, metroidvanias and side-view action RPGs.

Licence in one line: use them in your commercial games; do not resell the files.

What you get

• 6 heroes: Knight, Swordswoman, Archer, Mage, Rogue, Barbarian.
• 4 enemies: Skeleton, Goblin, Orc, Zombie.
• Every character: idle 4, walk 6, run 6, jump 3, fall 2, attack 5, hurt 3, death 5 frames, facing right and facing left (68 frames).
• Attacks per weapon: sword slash with a swing smear, axe chop, spiked club smash, dagger stab, claw swipe, bow draw and release, staff cast.
• 27 effect frames: arrow, fireball (4 frames) and fire impact, hit spark, landing dust and running dust.

Made to drop in

• One exact frame size: 32x32, feet on the bottom rows, the same pivot (bottom-centre) in every frame, so nothing slides when an animation changes.
• One sheet per character in the same layout (6 x 16 frames), plus every frame as its own PNG.
• JSON for every sheet: frame rectangles per animation and facing, fps, loop, pivot, the attack's hit frame and hitbox, and the spawn point for the arrow and the fireball.
• 1x, 2x and 3x of everything, and a GIF of every character.

Not included (so you know)

• Side view only, no top-down directions (see Gridwright Top-Down Characters for those).
• One attack per character; no dash, roll, wall or ledge moves.
• No Aseprite source files and no separate outfit layers: each character ships whole.

The battle screenshot stands on the Gridwright Platformer Tileset (sold separately); every character and effect in it is from this pack.
