Description The mushrooming motion effect seems tricky to replicate and it seems to need more than just 8 frames. Ah well, I think I got close enough.

It looks like the cloud just shrinks. You may want to try going for a more dissolved looking effect with a bit more rising. You might like the look more.

dissolving.. yeah, this attempt at an explosion was far too rushed, like wow.

It still works though depending on the application. The explosion usually isn't there long enough for the player to notice if the explosion looks right or not.

There's also the fact that while I was doing my homework for that one game jam (playing shmups), I noticed that the player would never stop by and admire the scenery. I would imagine this explosion would work in a fast-paced game. Yeah, you're probably right about the application remark.
