+		2D Particle emitter
 	</brief_description>
 	<description>
+		Particles2D is a particle system 2D [Node] that is used to simulate several types of particle effects, such as explosions, rain, snow, fireflies, or other magical-like shinny sparkles. Particles are drawn using impostors, and given their dynamic behavior, the user must provide a visibility AABB (although helpers to create one automatically exist).
