Hey everyone! 👋
I’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.
The zombie comes with a full set of gameplay-ready animations:
🌱 Encounter – rises out of the ground for a dramatic spawn
💤 Idle – subtle breathing and staggering motion
🚶 Move – slow, classic zombie walk
💢 Hurt – quick damage reaction
🦷 Attack (Bite) – close-range biting attack
🪦 Death – satisfying defeat animation
All animations are made at 16x16 resolution, keeping everything consistent with retro-style platformers.
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.
If you use this zombie in your game, I’d love to see how it looks in action!
