Once you're comfortable with basic pixel animation, these techniques will help your sprites come alive. We'll cover timing, easing, and using palette swaps to save memory.

Timing and Easing

Adjust frame durations to emphasize key frames. Use easing to create more natural motion.

Palette Swaps

Use palette swap techniques to reuse the same sprite for different characters or states with minimal memory overhead.

Looping Animations

Design loops carefully to avoid popping and maintain consistent rhythm.
