Impact FX

After getting the basic animation for the explosion sprite nailed, it was clear that the explosion didn't feel very powerful, lacking any form of impact.

This was easily sorted by adding a simple white 'ring' sprite added at the origin of the explosion. This sprite could then be scaled up and decreased in alpha over a very short period mimicking a fake shockwave from the explosion.
