About this icon

Animation

  • head changes between soccer ball, insect head, striped hat, flame effect
  • particle effects alternate with flame effects

Animation Summary

22-frame animation cycles through four distinct head states (soccer ball, insect-like blue head, striped top hat, flame) with corresponding particle effects on a yellow stick figure running pose.

Composition

  • 5x5 grid layout
  • icon centered in each cell
  • text below icon

Dense Caption

A 5x5 grid contact sheet displays 22 animated frames of a small pixel art icon. The central subject is a yellow stick-figure character wearing a yellow shirt with black outlines. In the first row, the figure has a white soccer ball for a head with blue particle effects above it. Second row shows the same figure with a dark blue insect-like head featuring antennae and light blue particles. Third row includes frames where the head alternates between a plain yellow circle (no face), a black-and-white striped top hat, and an orange flame on its head. Fourth row has consistent orange flames atop the head across multiple frames. Fifth row shows the figure with a white soccer ball head again and one frame with only the body visible. The character's arms are always outstretched in a running pose. Blue particle effects appear above the head in some frames, while orange flame effects replace them in others. All frames have "Zap Buddy" text below the icon in black pixelated font on a gray background. The animation cycles through different head states and particle effects without visible body movement beyond the changing head features.
