Level Up Particle Effect

I am looking for a simple particle effect. I am making a space game. The player will gain experience and level up periodically. I would like a simple level up effect that goes around the ship. This is a 2D top down game, so keep that in mind.

Anyone have a tutorial or something I could use please?

Well, slam a particle system down on the ship object and fiddle with the settings until it’s fabulous. The only setting you ‘have to have’ is to be sure it’s set to simulate in local space. That way it’ll follow your ship around. If it’s world space, it’ll spawn particles and they’ll trail behind the ship as it moves (which is also a nice effect, up to you). Is there some specific thing you need-but-can’t-quite-get-right?
