This looks real nice, are there any performance issues with so many particles?

[@swydev]

Possibly if you had a lot of instances of it and the game was running in a slower computer. Converting it to a GPUParticles2D node with the button at the top of the editor would likely solve any issues there.

@@swydev Hey! Maybe you can say something about mobile devices? I found that I can't make satisfactory smoke with less than 1000 particles. I looked at other guides and they use values ​​of no more than 100 particles. So far I've only been able to test 1000 on one phone and everything was ok, but how it will be on other devices is completely unclear.

Why are you using cpuparticles and not gpuparticles?

[@swydev]

I always start with CPUParticles and convert to GPUParticles later. The thought process is that if it runs well on the CPU it will run great on the GPU.
