One food sheet, 24 complete items

Use a transparent 1536 × 1024 pixel canvas with six columns and four rows of 256 × 256 pixel cells. Put one complete food item in each cell, in reading order from the top left. Upload the finished sheet once under Food sheet.

1. Start with the downloadable layout. Keep the guide layer separate from your artwork.
2. Draw one item inside each cell. Leave generous clear space around its full outline; a 16-pixel working margin is useful. Keep detached details with their item, away from neighboring cells.
3. Inspect every item against light and dark backgrounds. Look for clipped outlines, neighboring fragments, shadows, stray pixels and accidental opaque backgrounds.
4. Hide or remove the guide layer, then export a transparent PNG. Do not include labels, numbers, grid lines or background panels.

The SVG layout opens in an image editor. It is a guide layer; export your finished art as PNG. Existing approved example sheets retain their reviewed item boundaries—do not recrop them just by assuming every item stops at a grid line.

Check repetition and readable controls

Arena floor

Make a square seamless tile. Arrange copies in a grid and check both horizontal and vertical joins. Avoid a strong directional edge or large isolated detail that reveals the repetition.

Arena border

Use either a repeating horizontal strip or a complete square ring with an empty transparent center. Keep the artwork consistent with that layout, and mention your intended layout in the project description so the publishing team can set it correctly. The art does not change the arena boundary.

Four menu button frames

Export Single Player, Multiplayer, How to Play and Skins as four separate transparent PNGs. These are decorative frames. Leave a usable clear center and do not paint words into them—the game supplies translated labels. Check that the frame can stretch without distorting important details.

Optional artwork

A coin should read clearly at small size. The food-points background should be a simple silhouette with an uncluttered center. Leaving these files empty uses the standard coin or plain points.

Upload your theme

1. Open Themes, choose New theme, add a name and describe the intended floor/border treatment, menu colors and any special layout needs. Save the draft.
2. Upload the Original design first, then each matching artwork type. Food uses one sprite sheet; the buttons use four separate files.
3. Inspect every preview and replace anything with a seam, cropped detail or unreadable contrast. Add optional artwork only if the theme needs it.
4. Submit once all required files are ready. Review locks the submission until feedback requests changes.

Approval creates an unpublished theme-library entry. The team sets publication and scheduling separately; saving your draft does not change a published theme.
