Cartoon Punch Impact

HOW IT'S MADE

Cartoon Punch Impact stacks 9 particle emitters, each with its own job. Techniques worth a look: sub-emitters set off by other particles and post filters (outline).

It loops seamlessly every 1 s, and 8 of its layers fire in bursts, so it pulses instead of flowing evenly. To change its colour, select "Burst Red" in the studio and edit the Colour over Life gradient. Size on the same layer sets how big its particles are. The colour swatches by the downloads recolour every layer at once.

Layers, in draw order

1. Speed LinesparticlesOne burst of 18 shards along a line at the start. They shrink as they age, turn to face where they move and slow down with drag. Colours range between white and pale gold.
2. Punch StreakparticlesA single particle at the start. It shrinks as it ages. Colour runs from white to orange over each life.
3. Shock Ringsparticles3 single particles at set times. They grow as they age and slow down with drag. Colour runs from white to orange over each life.
4. Burst RedparticlesA single particle at the start. It swells and then shrinks away. Colour runs from white to red over each life.
5. Burst GoldparticlesA single particle at the start. It swells and then shrinks away. Colour runs from white to gold over each life.
6. Burst CoreparticlesA single particle at the start. It swells and then shrinks away. Colour runs from white to pale gold over each life.
7. StarsparticlesOne burst of 4 stars at 0.03 s. They spawn "Stars Body" as they appear, fall under gravity, swell and then shrink away and spin. Colour runs from white to orange over each life.
8. Stars BodyparticlesStars set off by "Stars". They fall under gravity, swell and then shrink away, spin and slow down with drag. Colour runs from white to gold over each life.
9. ChipsparticlesOne burst of 7 shards at the start. They fall under gravity, shrink as they age, spin and slow down with drag. Colour runs from gold to red over each life.
