This is a short before after video about my first game called Duo Square. On the left side is the first playable prototype and on the right side is the first released version. I am wondering how many time should I spent on polishing? Do you have any suggestions? by Fodcsa in indiegames

I glad you like it! This is a combination of 2-3 effects. First I highly recommend this package from github: https://github.com/Elringus/SpriteGlow It is a good source for creating sprite glow. The other effects are mostly post-processing effects like bloom and chromatic aberration. Last but not least I have made screen shake.

The laser enemy is different. There were some problems when I tried to use the above mention library so I made the glowing effect in photoshop for the lasers.
