I am working on a 2D game and I have created a simple sprite sheet. The sprite sheet represents a medkit. The size of the sprite sheet is 128x16 pixels with 8 different frames that animate the medkit bobbing up and down.

I have imported the sprite sheet into Unity as a Sprite with Sprite Mode set to multiple, Generate Mip Maps unchecked, Filter Mode set to Point, and Format set to Truecolor. I have sliced the sprite sheet using the Unity Sprite Editor and added the animation to my scene.

After doing so, I am able to see my sprite in my game. However I noticed that the animation of the sprite did not correspond to the sprite sheet. Some pixels seem to be distorted and tearing. I have searched online and couldn't find anyone with the issue I had. As you can see from the gif below, the top of the sprite is tearing.

Does anyone know what is causing this issue?

  • \$\begingroup\$ I'd recommend to create animation rather than using sprite sheet for this simple purpose \$\endgroup\$

Well, I don't know why you get this tearing. Perhaps the spritesheet itself is too small and unity is messing up. I suggest you try two things to solve your problem. 1. Up the resolution of the sprite and see if that solves the problem 2. If the animation is bobbing up and down you dont need a frame by frame animation. Just animate the transform component of the gameObject and you will get the same effect.
