I'm creating a Space Invaders type game - mainly to consolidate what I've learned about game development and prove to myself that I actually understand it!

I've, so far, been using the Kenney Game Assets: http://kenney.itch.io/kenney-donation

and I've attached the images I'm using for the actual lasers and the ship they'll be hitting.

All I need is for some sort of explosion/effect for when the lasers actually hit the ship.  Ideally not a "classic" explosion, but something like a flash/sparks or something like that.

The game will probably be release for Android and will be permanently free and ad free, so I'm afraid I can't pay for your work, but I will give full credit if you require it.

If you're interested and are able to use git, you're welcome to download and try out the game as it stands so far - it's more or less playable now: https://github.com/phunni/SkyIsFalling

Once downloaded running "./gradlew desktop:run" or, on windows "gradlew.bat desktop:run", should start it on your desktop.

Thanks in advance!
