Reference scene (context only — map it onto my own characters and sizes):
Side-view pixel-art scene on a dusk background. A swordsman stands on the left and swings his sword at an orange slime on the right once every 1.0s; the hit lands at t = 0 of each cycle. The art is pixel art: the hero is 12×13 art pixels drawn at 7px per art pixel (84×91px), the slime is 16×12 art pixels at 7px (112×84px), the sword is 3×13 art pixels at 7px. All sizes are screen px at that scale; scale them to your sprite size. The hero's left edge is 118px left of center, the slime's center is 76px right of center; the impact point is about 28px right of center and 40px above the ground. Swing timing: the sword goes back over 0.45–0.86s, swings down over 0.86–1.0s (easeInCubic) and hits at t = 0, leaving a faint cream #ffe2a8 swing arc for 0.1s. The slime breathes (height ±3.5%, 1s period). Every hit in this set is a critical hit.

The effect:
On a critical hit, draw the word 'CRIT!' in a 3×5 pixel font (8px cells, dark #1a1014 outline) centered above the enemy, 44px below the top of the view, tilted −8°. …
