Abusing my particle system

You can never have enough special effects! Our game Atomic Rock Paper Scissors was lacking some visual feedback (which a lot of people have correctly remarked), but now every time you gain levels in the nuke/metal bars a little particle flash appears, as well as a nice green blast on the nuke icon once you got a new one. All accompanied by sound effects too.

It's looking good now! Can't wait to release the new version for you guys to play! We're almost there! Everything is 10x more satisfying! :)

Would have been easier to achieve all of this with a proper engine. A custom engine really makes everything many times more difficult. Lesson learned! :x
