PixelFX is an open-source library and interactive web studio featuring 244 procedural, code-driven pixel art visual effects (VFX) organized across 21 game development categories. Every effect is a tiny zero-dependency JavaScript ES module (~3 KB) that renders into dual color and additive light buffers, and can be exported directly as a transparent RGBA8888 PNG sprite sheet with an Aseprite-compatible JSON atlas.

## Key Capabilities
- **244 Live Procedural Pixel Art Effects**: Zero external image assets; 100% deterministic seeded simulations and pure frame functions.
- **73 Acted Character Moves**: Includes 3D-to-pixel skeletal pose tracks with wind-up, hit-stop freeze frames, camera shake, and target knockback.
- **Instant Engine Export**: One-click in-browser download of transparent PNG sprite sheets, Aseprite JSON atlases, and single frames for Godot, Unity, Phaser, PixiJS, GameMaker, and HTML5 Canvas.
- **Bilingual Search & Filtering**: Filter by 21 categories, animation mode (Loop, One-Shot, Acted, Favorites), and English/Chinese keywords.

- `critters/ghost` (**Ghost**, loop 2.4s, 96x100px): A sheet ghost bobs over the floor: its scalloped hem ripples and trails its drift, little arms flutter, it glances about and blinks, motes trickle off its hem. — [Open in Studio](https://pixelfx.getpicforge.com/gallery/?fx=critters/ghost)
- `critters/jellyfish` (**Jellyfish**, loop 3.2s, 96x120px): A see-through jellyfish pulses: its bell squeezes to shove it up and relaxes as it sinks, frilled arms and long tentacles trailing, a glow inside, bubbles drifting by. — [Open in Studio](https://pixelfx.getpicforge.com/gallery/?fx=critters/jellyfish)
- `critters/slime` (**Slime**, loop 1.8s, 112x88px): A glossy slime hops in place: it squashes to wind up, stretches into the jump, rounds out in the air, splats down flinging droplets that creep back, then wobbles and blinks. — [Open in Studio](https://pixelfx.getpicforge.com/gallery/?fx=critters/slime)
- `critters/snake` (**Snake**, loop 2.4s, 136x56px): A snake slithers along the floor, head raised: humps rise and roll back down its patterned body to the tail, dust puffs where it touches down, its forked tongue flicks. — [Open in Studio](https://pixelfx.getpicforge.com/gallery/?fx=critters/snake)
- `critters/wisp` (**Wisp**, loop 3.2s, 128x104px): A will-o'-the-wisp loops a figure-eight over the floor: a little soul-flame with a face, its flame tail licking up and streaming behind, shedding puffs and sparks. — [Open in Studio](https://pixelfx.getpicforge.com/gallery/?fx=critters/wisp)
