172 cel-shaded explosions, grenades, muzzle flashes, impacts and smoke in a bright hero-shooter style — with radius damage, mobile versions and a playable shooting range.One material set for Built-in, URP and HDRP, no conversion needed. Run Tools > Stylized Explosions > Scene Setup for Bloom. Soft particles need the Depth Texture (URP). Screen distortion is URP-only (Opaque Texture on) and hides itself elsewhere. Tested on Unity 2022.3 (Built-in, URP) and Unity 6 (URP, HDRP).Stylized Explosions is a complete toolkit of cartoon combat VFX for shooters, action, tower defense and party games. Every effect is a ready-to-drop prefab with sound, light, camera shake and ground scorch, built on Unity's Particle System and lightweight unlit toon shaders.WHAT'S INSIDE — 172 EFFECTS• Explosions (50+): small / medium / large / XL, cartoon, barrel, vehicle, dynamite, gas canister, landmine, cluster, implosion, fuel-air, mushroom cloud, nuke, orbital strike, carpet bombing, black hole, plus colour and shape variants• Grenades: frag, Molotov, incendiary, napalm, EMP, flashbang, smoke• Weapons (24): muzzle flashes for pistol, revolver, suppressed, SMG, rifle, shotgun, sniper, machine gun, minigun, flare gun, plasma, laser, cannon, tank gun, RPG — plus tracer, rocket, plasma bolt, cannonball, laser beam, afterburner, mortar• Impacts: bullet hits on dirt, stone, metal, wood, glass, water, sand, snow, armor; ricochet, critical hit, railgun, rocket and shell impacts, toon blood• Elemental & sci-fi: ice, poison, shadow, holy, lightning, plasma, shield hit, shield break• Smoke (30): signal smoke in 5 colours, black plume, oil column, smoke screen, ground fog, vortex ring, steam jet, exhaust, dust wave, dust devil• Bombs & telegraphs: C4 and sticky bombs with blinking fuse, proximity mine, falling bomb, danger circle / cone / line, airstrike marker, target reticle• Comic: BOOM!

Phones automatically start on Medium quality.TWO DEMO SCENES• Showcase with all 172 effects, fly camera, colour presets and slow motion• First-person shooting range: 14 weapons, 7 grenades, surface-aware impacts, breakable crates and glass, robots, and red barrels that set each other offTOOLSWelcome window, Effect Browser with thumbnails and drag & drop, one-click Scene Setup for every pipeline, Color Preset Creator, Play / Restart buttons in the Inspector without entering Play mode, full PDF manual.• Prefabs: 172 effects + 172 mobile versions + 2 burnable props• Shaders: 4 unlit toon shaders (fire, smoke, distortion, debris) — one set of materials for Built-in, URP and HDRP• Textures: procedural, 256–512 px• Audio: 10 SFX (explosion, impact, whoosh, ignite, fire loop…)• Particle System (Shuriken), no VFX Graph required• Scripts: C#, namespace StylizedExplosions, assembly definitions included• Demo scenes: 2 (showcase, shooting range)• Documentation: Documentation/StylizedExplosions_Manual.pdf• Tested on Unity 2022.3 (Built-in, URP) and Unity 6 (URP, HDRP)• Screen distortion requires URP with Opaque Texture enabled; it is hidden automatically elsewhereAI was used as a development assistant throughout the project. All output was directed, reviewed, tested and approved by the author.Code and shaders: C# scripts, editor tools and HLSL shaders were written with an AI coding assistant (Anthropic Claude) under the author's direction, then iterated and verified in Unity.Effect tuning and demos: the AI assistant helped tune presets and set up the demo scenes, and recorded test videos and screenshots for review.Documentation: the README and PDF manual were drafted with AI assistance and edited by the author.Textures: the demo cave background and the source images for the bat, feather and rose petal textures were generated with AI image tools and then processed into game-ready textures
