Hi all!

I've been working on a side scroller for some time now. I'd like to add some bling to the game, but I'm finding it *really* difficult to get / create some inventive effects for 2d games other than the usual blurs. Most techniques are for 3d games are I've been trying to make them work in 2d but I've been failing hard :(

Could someone point me to some inventive 2d shader effects that I can use in my game?

Also, Some shader effects I've wanted to implement but don't know how:

1) Explosions
2)Glares
3)proper looking God Rays

Thank you all!
