A v2 pet is more than nine animation rows.

Rows 9–10 add 16 clockwise look directions, and pet.json must declare spriteVersionNumber 2.

Package

pet.json and one spritesheet at the package root. The generated ZIP also contains a README and validation report.

Preview

Check movement, baseline, clipping, identity, transparent edges, and each direction—not only the idle frame.

Publish

Use original or licensed art, link the creator and source, state the atlas version, and keep a takedown path visible.
