Kirupa people are my first real particle system (other ones didn’t work in a random way). They are little round guys with two legs and are very fragile! Even a bump with another of their kind can kill them. The walls are made out of foam so they don’t die from hitting them, but they just get a little confused and start running (they have a bit low IQ :snug: ).

The system has integrated overheat control, so if the framerate drops by 3 or more frames, the guys stop spawning so they don’t lag the system much.  
This one is probably my last entry in the contest so enjoy! 😃
