Getting particle systems like this to work was surprisingly tricky. Especially when it came to making it all flip properly when the opposite combatant uses the same attack.

Each pony has DOZENS of expressive animations. That's why it takes so long to get each one from single concept sprite to finished in-game. (Aseprite's the tool used to get these pixels moving around so nicely.)

The same attack can come in different colors depending on the pony using it. #pixelart #animation #mlp #indiegamedev

It was important for us to have multiple save files per game.

One for a first playthrough.
