Job Description
About Blast Zero
Blast Zero is a growing game studio based in the Netherlands, Rotterdam. They are currently developing Samurai Pizza Cats: Blast From The Past, a new action game based on the classic IP. They work hybrid (1-2 in the office) with Remote work possible for candidates based abroad.
Blast Zero are looking for a 2D animator with hands-on experience in frame-by-frame character animation for games. The role focuses on combat: attacks, hit reactions, movement states, and specials. A background in or passion for action games is important.
Being able to read an existing art style and match it is essential. They’re not looking for someone to redefine the visual direction.
The game’s art style draws from Japanese animation. Familiarity with that aesthetic, whether through games or anime is required. Think expressive silhouettes, snappy timing, and strong impact frames.
Requirements:
- Frame-by-frame 2D animation experience, with a portfolio that includes combat or action animations
- Able to adapt to and work within an established art style
- Solid grasp of animation fundamentals: timing, anticipation, weight, follow-through
Nice to have:
- Experience with or interest in fighting games, beat ’em ups and 2D action games
- Affinity for Japanese animation styles
