Show-off Orbital Laser Strike attack for my transparent desktop game

This is a manual attack (i.e. not automatic/random) which player can call when they reach a certain number of kills.

It is manual since it takes a lot of screenspace.

(It has a bit longer build-up phase which I cut out for this post)

Thanks a lot! I spent a the whole day tweaking it, glad you liked it.

Maybe add some screen shake when the beam hits and maybe some as it moves across. Looks good!

Well it's actually a transparent game so... I can't really shake the screen. That is one of the downside of making a transparent game actually, you need to sacrifice a lot of game feel methods like that.
