Made to drop in

• Exact 32x32 cells, feet on the same row in every frame, facing right (flip for left).
• Every frame as its own PNG, one strip per animation and one sheet per hero, at 1x, 2x, 3x and 4x.
• cats.json: names, classes, weapons, frame counts, suggested fps, the attack's hit frame and the feet anchor.
• The backgrounds and text in the screenshots are previews (not included).

What it does not include

No left-facing copies (flip in your engine), no effects, projectiles, tiles or sound. The art is drawn at 1x; 2x-4x are scaled copies.

How it was made

Every frame is drawn by code from one parametric cat plus each class's headgear and weapon, posed per frame and shaded like hand-typed pixel art. The code was written with AI-assisted tools. No image generator was used, and no third-party art is included.
