Add this game-feel effect to my 2D game: Tower Place — Drop & Squash.

Reference scene (context only — map it onto my own characters and sizes):
A top-down tower defense map. Art is pixel art; all sizes are screen pixels — scale them to your own sprites. Times are seconds, t = 0 is the moment the tower is placed. The field is dark green grass (#1c261c with a faint 35px checker and small #2c4632 tufts) with a horizontal dirt path 48px tall (#4a3022, a #5a3a2a top edge and #3d261c bottom edge, a few pebbles). Just above the path, stone build pads (96×18px, #3a3346 with a #4d4558 top) sit 140px apart; empty pads show four small cream corner marks. The camera pans so the map slides left at 140px/s, bringing a fresh empty pad to the build spot every second. The tower is 14×15 art pixels at 6px (about 84×90px): a brown wooden body (#6b4a33/#3e2a1d), a cream band and a mint #5BE3B0 crystal on top. Orange slimes (64×48px) hop along the path in the background. Placed towers stay on their pads and slide away with the map.

The effect:
From t = −0.22s the tower falls from 260px above the pad, accelerating (height = 260·(1 − q²), q = 0 → 1), stretched to 90% width and 112% height. …
