Confetti Engine for GameMaker

Bring celebration to your game with a modular confetti system designed for GameMaker.
Rain, burst, or launch confetti effects into your world — even turn text into confetti!

What is it?

The Confetti Engine is a plug-and-play library for GameMaker that makes it easy to:

• Launch confetti in a direction (like a cannon or effect trigger)
  
• Burst colorful particles at any point
• Rain confetti from the sky
  
• Have confetti that lands and exists in the game world

You can use built-in sprites, add your own, or even convert text into confetti on the fly.

Features

• Multiple settle styles – confetti can fade away or land and stay in the world
• Multiple exit styles – fade, sparkle, spin, pop, scale, and more
• Text-to-sprite support (great for custom messages or character emotions)
• Supports custom sprites, colors, and animations
• Layer-aware: confetti can land on tables or pass under characters
• Simple, clean, and flexible API
