2D Game Art
overview
2D Game art
Sketch to final asset — stylized, production-ready 2D art that fits your game’s world, scale, and platform.
Concept Development
We start with sketches, moodboards, and style frames to explore character, world, and UI direction — aligned to your game’s tone and genre.
Character & Prop
Whether it’s stylized heroes, quirky NPCs, or collectible items, we create assets that are readable, well-balanced, and built for in-game use.
Scenes & Spaces
We design rich 2D worlds — from layered parallax backgrounds to tileable environment packs — optimized for movement, clarity, and story.
UI Assets & Icons
Buttons, HUD elements, reward popups, menus — we design UI visuals that stay on-brand, readable, and resolution-independent.
2D Animation
For games that need movement, we add frame-by-frame or rigged animation to characters, props, and effects — delivered as sprite sheets or Spine-ready files.
Game-Ready Exports
Final assets are delivered in organized PSDs, PNG sequences, or vector exports — with naming conventions and layer structures matched to your dev needs.
Genres We Specialize In
RPG Games
RPGs rely on rich, expressive worlds — and our 2D art helps build them. From dialogue-ready character sprites and layered environments to menus, HUDs, and inventory systems, we support every visual layer of narrative-heavy gameplay.
We balance style with in-game readability, making your world feel alive and immersive.
Puzzle Games
Puzzle games demand visual clarity, clean iconography, and instant feedback. Whether it’s matching tiles, animated clues, or subtle motion effects, our 2D game art enhances player engagement without overloading the screen.
Our expertise in 3D modeling will bring you the best outlook of your game.
Strategy Games
Tactical games live or die by how clearly they communicate information. We create 2D units, terrain, icons, and interfaces that make smart use of space, color, and flow. Whether it’s turn-based or real-time, we help you guide decisions through visual clarity.
Our art is built for control, clarity, and tactical depth.
Survival Games
Survival games thrive on tension, scarcity, and visual cues that reinforce urgency. We design gritty 2D assets — inventory systems, craftable items, damage indicators, and moody environments — that support immersion without overwhelming the screen.
Built to support pressure, pacing, and hard choices in real time.

popular questions
How do I start a 2D game art project with HiScore Labs?
Just send us a brief, reference images, or even a rough idea — and we’ll guide you through our intake process. We’re used to working with both structured pipelines and early-stage ideas.
What kinds of 2D game art do you create?
We produce everything from character sprites and tileable environments to UI, icons, and animated assets. Whether you need hand-drawn, vector, or pixel-perfect styles, we adapt to your game’s direction.
Can you match an existing art style for my 2D game?
Yes! We can match your established style guide or visual direction. If you don’t have one, we can help you define it during the concept phase of the 2D game art pipeline.
How do you ensure consistent art quality across different artists and assets?
We implement a structured art direction process, including detailed style guides, regular internal reviews, and lead artist oversight. This ensures that every asset aligns with your game's visual identity and maintains high-quality standards.
What steps do you take to protect our intellectual property?
We prioritize IP security by signing comprehensive Non-Disclosure Agreements (NDAs) and ensuring that all project files and communications are handled through secure channels. Your creative assets and ideas are safeguarded throughout our collaboration.
What formats do you deliver 2D assets in?
Final 2D game assets can be delivered in PSD, PNG, or vector formats, depending on your engine and platform needs. We follow your naming, resolution, and layering conventions.
How do you manage revisions and feedback during the project?
We establish a clear feedback loop with scheduled checkpoints. Our process includes initial concept approvals, mid-project reviews, and final asset validations, allowing for structured revisions and ensuring the final product meets your expectations.
What engines and platforms is your 2D game art optimized for?
Our 2D art is built for Unity, Unreal, Cocos, and other popular engines. Whether you're developing for mobile, PC, or web, we optimize visuals for smooth integration and performance.
