Devlog: New 16x16 Zombie Enemy Added!


Hey everyone! ๐Ÿ‘‹

Iโ€™ve just released another enemy for my growing 16x16 platformer asset series — the Zombie Enemy Sprite is now available!
This one focuses on classic undead horror with smooth, readable animations made for fast-paced gameplay.

๐Ÿง  Animations Included

The zombie comes with a full set of gameplay-ready animations:

  • ๐ŸŒฑ Encounter โ€“ rises out of the ground for a dramatic spawn

  • ๐Ÿ’ค Idle โ€“ subtle breathing and staggering motion

  • ๐Ÿšถ Move โ€“ slow, classic zombie walk

  • ๐Ÿ’ข Hurt โ€“ quick damage reaction

  • ๐Ÿฆท Attack (Bite) โ€“ close-range biting attack

  • ๐Ÿชฆ Death โ€“ satisfying defeat animation

All animations are made at 16x16 resolution, keeping everything consistent with retro-style platformers.

๐ŸŽจ Design Goals

I wanted this zombie to feel:

  • Classic and instantly recognizable

  • Easy to read during combat

  • Flexible enough to fit graveyards, dungeons, caves, or horror-themed levels

The encounter animation was especially fun to make since it lets developers create surprise ambush moments when the zombie bursts out of the ground.

๐Ÿ’ฌ Feedback Welcome!

If you use this zombie in your game, Iโ€™d love to see how it looks in action!
Screenshots, videos, suggestions, or ideas for future enemies are always welcome — your feedback helps shape the next releases.
