I am pretty sure that the 'Particle' Object doesnt support those functions.....
The only options it has listed under Particle lifetime properties are
Acceleration
Change in particle speed over time, in pixels per second per second. A positive value will make particles speed up, and a negative value will make them slow down.
Gravity
The acceleration downwards caused by gravity, in pixels per second per second. Useful for making fountain or other falling particle effects. Set to 0 to prevent gravity having any effect on particle movement.
Angle randomiser
Maximum random change to each particle's angle during its lifetime, in degrees per second. For example, set to 0 to prevent particles ever changing direction, or set to 10 to allow particles to change up to 5 degrees left or right per second.
Speed randomiser
Maximum random change to each particle's speed during its lifetime, in pixels per second per second. For example, set to 0 to prevent the speed changing randomly, or set to 100 to allow particles to speed up or slow down by 50 pixels per second per second.
Opacity randomiser
Maximum random change to each particle's opacity during its lifetime. Useful for creating "twinkling" effects.
Destroy mode
How each particle is destroyed. There are three modes available:
Fade to invisible will fade each particle's opacity to zero over the Timeout. When the particle becomes invisible, it is destroyed.
Timeout expired simply destroys each particle after the Timeout has expired, without altering the opacity.
Particle stopped destroys each particle when its speed reaches zero. You must take care to use a negative Acceleration, or particles will never be destroyed!
Timeout
The time in seconds particles last for before being destroyed, depending on the Destroy mode.
As you can see..there is no rotation property..
I've tested it before myself...but it didn't seem to work
Its interesting to note that The particle object is only fractionally more efficient than creating your own custom Particle objects and assigning your own behaviors to them..
For simple effects sometimes its worth making your own custom 'Event' driven Particles..
such as
create a sprite object with all the behaviors you want ..including a rotation,fade out and/or destroy timer
then setup some basic events to spawn the objects when needed
PLayer is moving
Player is on ground-->
spawn Dust.object(number) at player.position
