Game VFX / Motion Designer for Mobile Rhythm Game

The game: A premium mobile rhythm game (Guitar Hero–style) for iOS — glowing gems on a neon highway, gold-and-purple rockstar aesthetic, big satisfying feedback on every note. Style's established (see screenshots). We have the static assets; we need someone to bring them to life. What you'll make: Short, punchy gameplay effects GIF's from our existing assets — note-hit bursts (a "Perfect" and a smaller "Good"), miss effects, strike-zone pulses, combo/multiplier flares, and a few big moments (power-up, song-clear, rank-up). Delivered as transparent, game-ready sprite sheets / PNG sequences (with alpha), plus source files. My devs are asking for GIFs and we have to send them over. You're a fit if you: Have shipped game VFX / juicy motion work — reel required. Know After Effects + sprite sheets, alpha channels, and how effects composite in-engine (screen/additive blend). Understand "game juice" — crisp, fast, satisfying, not slow or mushy. These fire hundreds of times per song. Bonus: rhythm/arcade game experience · Lottie or transparent WebM · PixiJS/WebGL pipelines. To apply: Your reel/portfolio of game effects (the #1 thing we look at). One line on how you'd deliver a transparent, game-ready hit burst.
