-super bullet recharges slower when actively firing (0.3s cooldown on debuff)

-super bullet recharges slower the more bombs you have in your inventory

-more bouncy walls

-more small corridors, rather than open areas.
-make bombs have an explosion visual, propagates outward and does not deal damage instantly.

-decrease super bullet damage by 1/3

-decrease normal enemy fire rate

suggestions:

-dash/ shift to jump in a direction, takes 0.6 seconds with a 1 second cooldown

-friction during dash is decreased, momentum is nearly kept

-dodge/ control to jump in a direction, takes 0.3 seconds, dodge all bullets, lose all momentum

-the longer you are actively moving, the higher your movement speed is. resets when you stop

-killing an amount of enemies gives you a shell. shells pierce enemies, move at 5x normal bullet speed, deal 5x normal bullet damage. knocks player back when shot.
