An animation study I did in Spine. The animations are created as a 1x1 in-game blocker for a match-3 game scene.
In idle state, the character had to look lively but not distracting.
The second animation called taunt is made for the condition when the player hasn't made a move for a couple of seconds. The fish tries to taunt the player.
The hit animation is made for the condition which the player makes a match around the fish blocker. The fish gets out from the coral around it and the player collects the fish.
