Dungeon Mechanisms (Arcane Curiosities Vol.2)

Twelve animated dungeon props for top-down games: spike traps, flame jets, pressure plates, levers, doors, a portcullis, breakable pots and crates, torches and a teleport rune. One-shot actions end on the first frame of the next loop, so they chain without a pop.

All 12 props · 68 animations

Every prop below is shown at its real frame rate. Sprites are drawn in top-down 3/4 view (key light top-left) at 32–64 px, with one 32-colour palette shared by every Arcane Curiosities volume, so props from different volumes sit together in one scene.
