Hi,

Cool scenes!

First of all, in the wall animation at the beggining, I'd randomize the amount of velocity that is inherited by the particles. I think it'd look more realistic.

I suppose sprites would work for all those particle animations. Try to get the ideal mix between particle count - sprite size and with motion blur and a decent shader it will look great.
