Lucky Block Break

HOW IT'S MADE

Lucky Block Break stacks 6 particle emitters, each with its own job. Techniques worth a look: glowing strokes traced along shapes, collisions, keyframed parameters and post filters (bloom).

It loops seamlessly every 2 s, and 6 of its layers fire in bursts, so it pulses instead of flowing evenly. Start times are staggered from 0 s to 0.87 s, so the layers arrive one after another. To change its colour, select "Break Flash" in the studio and edit Colour A and Colour B. Size on the same layer sets how big its particles are.

Layers, in draw order

1. ShadowspriteA placed glow. Extras: keyframed motion.
2. Lucky Glowsprite / additiveA placed glow. Extras: keyframed motion.
3. Lucky BlockparticlesOne burst of 16 shards at 0.62 s. They are flung outward, fall under gravity and bounce when they hit something.
4. Break Flashparticles / additiveA single particle at 0.62 s. It grows as it ages. Colour: pale gold.
5. Break Ringstroke / additiveA glowing line traced along a circle.
6. CoinsparticlesOne burst of 12 coins and gems along a line at 0.64 s. They fall under gravity, bounce when they hit something and grow as they age. Colour: white.
7. GemparticlesOne burst of 2 coins and gems along a line at 0.66 s. They fall under gravity, bounce when they hit something, grow as they age and spin. Colour: white.
8. Starsparticles / additiveOne burst of 12 stars from a disc at 0.64 s. They swell and then shrink away, spin and slow down with drag. Colours range between white and gold.
9. DustparticlesOne burst of 10 smoke puffs from a ring at 0.87 s. They grow as they age, spin and slow down with drag. Colour: grey.
