So my shooting mechanics are completely done, except I need a cool effect for my bullets. I'm looking for something like the game Stick Fight has. How would I be able to create such an effect without using too much CPU since I am carefully keeping my game optimized because of its size. I can only come close to such an effect with way too many particles

You only need about 10 particles for firing and for each impact. This should be negligible in terms of performance.

Yeah, but I'm asking about an effect that would suit it, since I haven't been able to create such a good one, or if there even is a premade one in the forums that someone knows of. Still, thanks.
