A burst of sparks on a hit that goes the right way and grows with the damage

Random sparks in every direction look like noise, sparks that all fly the same way look like a hose, and a fixed number is dull for both a poke and a finisher. Here is how to aim a cone, space the pieces evenly and scale the count without overloading a slow phone.

Why this works

Sparks tell the eye where the contact happened and how hard. Sending them back along the surface that was struck, evenly spread over a fan, reads as a real bounce, and the number and speed scale with the force so big hits look big.

When not to use it

Do not add sparks where many hits land at once or on weak devices; they hide the action and slow the game. Use a single flash or a small ring on the target, and keep the number of sparks in total under a fixed limit.
