This vfx video tutorial shows you how to create a very subtle but great looking effect that you can overlay our game with for GameMaker Studio. Because it kind of reminds of me of magic or mana I call it the mana spark visual effect.

It is basically a particle system that pops out 1px particles in the camera viewable area that are being drawn in different colors and with low alpha values. And that is pretty much it. Looks great in sidescroller or top down games. The entire code is show in the comment section.
