Copperline is an original pixel tactical UI kit for tower-defense prototypes, game jams, and small strategy projects. Its copper-and-ink panels keep waves, resources, placement, targeting, and minimap feedback readable while leaving towers, enemies, and scenery to your game.

84 PNG assets · three 8-frame effects · Engine agnostic · MIT licensed

What's inside

  • Reusable 9-slice document panel and four button states
  • Wave, health, resource, and cooldown bars with separate track and fill layers for runtime clipping
  • Eight route-arrow directions, target/range indicators, and valid, invalid, and selected placement markers
  • Eight tactical map markers plus wave-horn, heart-health, and gold-seal HUD icons
  • Three animated effects: eight-frame pulse, target, and route sequences with native PNG frames and strips
  • Tower-card states, class badges, wave transport controls, target-priority glyphs, occupied and locked sockets, and a stretchable minimap with pins

Build a readable defense loop

Drop the transparent PNGs into your own board, keep your game art separate, and prototype quickly. Native pixel dimensions, true alpha, source generation, QA scripts, and four-background alpha previews are included.

Offline storefront demo

Install instructions

Download the v1.2.0 ZIP, unpack it, and open README.md for the asset map, integration notes, and license.

Open showcase/index.html directly in a modern browser for the offline assembled HUD demo. The PNGs are engine-agnostic and authored at native pixel dimensions; keep image-rendering: pixelated on enlarged previews and use the documented 9-slice inset for panels.

No runtime libraries are required. The source scripts are optional and only needed if you want to regenerate the deterministic raster assets.
