Free Pixel Art Pickup Sprites
Collectibles that tell the player "grab me": a spinning coin, a gem with a sweeping shine, a beating heart, a bobbing key, a turning star, a bubbling potion, a shield, a lightning bolt, a glowing extra-life orb and a treasure chest that bursts open.
They share one style — a dark outline in each item’s own color and light from the upper left — so they sit together in one HUD or level. All loop except the chest, which plays once and stays open.
10 animated assets at 16 and 32 px. Download the whole pack (.zip, 89 KB).
