I just started adding power ups to my game after I updated all the assets. The first one is a triple shot and icon for this power up currently looks like this.

And this is how it should look after animating it:

To get to that point, the first thing you are going to do is open up your animation window. This can be found in Window > Animation > Animation. The window should look like the following image.

Then you click whatever sprite you want to animate in the hierarchy and click the create button in the animation window. Name and save this animation.

Next you can select the sprites in the project that are a part of the animation and drag them into the Animation window. Pressing record is also good practice when doing this.

Now your when you hit play, the animation from the start of this article should be playing and now you have a little more flare!
