For example, we recall a detective game built around phone messages. At one point, the screen “cracked” from the player’s touches - that effect really stuck with us, so we added it to Touch Effect System.

Touch Effect System and Automatic Tutorial Maker share a common principle - they respond to player actions so the player doesn’t get lost. ATM waits for the correct clicks. TES reacts to any clicks with lively visuals. A few words about their integration →

* Use a sprite-based effect as a base (TouchGlitter.prefab)
* Add a list of 2D textures
* Add a list of colors
* Set Mode = Trail - otherwise, the effect will appear only at the touch point, not as a trail
* Adjust other settings as needed - you can even overlay it with a shader-based effect

Besides shaders, sprite-based effects too

The video shows a Japanese mobile game where touches leave sparkling trails. This engagement element makes gameplay (and in-app purchases) more enjoyable. With Touch Effect System, easily recreate the same effect in your own app:

🗝 If you own TES purchased through the Unity Asset Store, reach out for a custom touch effect for your project: [email protected]

Write: “Here’s what I’m working on. I have the Touch Effect System. I’d like to…”
And we’ll either release an update or guide you on how to implement it yourself.

The uniqueness of this system is that it’s a system, not just a set of static images. Every particle is shader-based, which makes it easy to adjust visuals: color, shape, glow, animation, even the number and distortion of cracks in “broken glass” effect. Sparkles can be replaced with other sprites.

We’ve prepared 25+ prefabs for different scenarios, the main ones being:

* One-Touch, triggered by a tap (basic glowing circle, a random splash shape, or a pattern that looks like touching a force field)
* Trail, following movement (e.g., a heat trail or a slash like in Fruit Ninja)
* Accents
