I'm of the philosophy that games shouldn't encourage players to mash buttons. It's bad on player's hands and has all sorts of issues when it comes to accessibility. That said, I had the idea that when you mash, your accuracy should go down. I figured it would be a fun way to discourage mashing while also adding some secret tech for clever players.

See, with this specific weapon, it's alt attack (the Big Shot I posted earlier) has a longer cooldown than the main attack but it uses the same timer. So you can "cancel" the timer by pressing the other attack button. It's something that I don't think most players would notice, but advanced players could take advantage of.

This is fun/funny. If you slide your finger along both attack buttons at a specific rhythm you can fly. It's somewhat intentional, but considering how exhausting and tricky it is I'll probably remove it. Part of me wants to keep it since it's kinda cool.

What I'll probably do is limit the amount of big shots you get while in the air. Probably one? Maybe two?
