Tadpole - Pixelated creature w/ simple animation
This file includes frames for a simple pixelated tadpole animation. The creature image is 32 per 32 bits. The ZIP comes with individual files for each frame, with transparency around them.
Tadpoles are toad/frog larvae, resembling fish offspring but rounder and cuter.
Tip: For better animation, instead of going from frame 6 back to frame 1, return to frame 5, then 4 etc. The animation would follow these frames: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, and repeat. As you can see in the comments below, people have tried other combinations as well, with great results!
I created this originally for a CS2D mod, and adapted it with transparency and additional frames to release it here.

That is a cute little tadpole. :)
I put together some animated Gif previews:
Edit: My favorites are the 3rd & 5th, but they only use two frames.
This is so nice! You had some cool ideas for animating it, some results work better than the one i imagined :)
Awesome work!
There may be other combinations that work well too. I may try some more in the future.
Edit: If you want to add any of those animations to your submission, go ahead. It's your work. Those are attributed to you.
Here is another one. It's frame order is 1-2-5-6-5-2. But, I still like the ones I mentioned above better.
