Particle Candy is an extremely flexible yet simple and straightforward to use particle engine library to create all imaginable stuff of special effects in your games like smoke, trails, fire, explosions, debris, flares, dust, clouds, shots, light rays, water fontains, even weather effects like rain, snow -everything you can imagine.
