Trails & Impact Effects

Add glowing trails and choose from a large library of collision blast effects.

01

Ball Trails

Trails follow the path of your balls and emphasize their motion. You can adjust the length, color, thickness, and fade of the trails to create light-painting streaks behind every ball. Long, slow-fading trails over a dark background produce the signature neon look; short trails add subtle motion blur.

Technical Parameters
  • Trail length and persistence
  • Trail thickness
  • Color (solid, gradient, or velocity-based)
  • Fade rate and screen bloom

Impact & Collision Blasts

When balls collide with boundaries or each other, you can trigger a visual blast. There is a large library of blast animations to choose from, so you can match the effect to your mood — explosive, celebratory, cosmic, or glitchy.

Syncing Color to Sound

For the most satisfying result, coordinate your blast color with the audio. Matching the blast to the frequency or note that triggers it ties the visual payoff to the audio payoff, so each impact lands as a single audio-visual beat rather than two separate events.

Pro Tip

Match the blast color to the audio trigger and keep the blast short — a quick, bright burst on the beat reads as "satisfying," while long, heavy effects can feel cluttered at speed.
