Platformer Enemies — 12 Animated Foes, One Style [Pixel]

Twelve platformer enemies, each with the one move that defines it. 48 files, side view, 48 pixels, all drawn in a single cute-chunky style so they can share a level without looking assembled from three different packs.

The roster

• Ground: mushroom (stomping walk), skeleton (rattling walk), snail (slow crawl), frog (hop), fire imp (skipping walk), rock golem (heavy stomp), worm (inching crawl)
• Air: ghost (floating bob), wasp (buzzing flight), flying eye (flapping), storm cloud (hover)
• Stationary: snap plant (biting snap) - the one that guards a spot instead of patrolling it

Why one move each

A patrolling enemy in a platformer is on screen for two seconds. What sells it is not a long animation, it is that the movement matches the body: the snail should not walk, the ghost should not have footfalls. Every one of the twelve got its own motion instead of a shared walk template, and each is animated facing both directions.

Fits with

Platformer Starter Kit - same style, same scale, five tilesets and a hero to put them in. There is a playable demo of that set if you want to see the style moving before deciding.
