To add a bit more variety to matches, I propose custom abilities! Customizable abilities that function similar to standard abilities but have different properties and uses, they would be purchasable from the shop for 250-500 coins.
Here's a few examples of possible custom abilities I've thought up. ⬇️
Leader: Motivation --> All nearby players including yourself receive a temporary boost in defense, adding an additional hit point that acts the same as wearing a standard saucepan, wears off after being hit/after 20 seconds. Would be shown via a glowing blue effect around the player.
Activation: Q
Cooldown: 20s
(Replaces Inspiration)
Ghost Neighbor: Paranormal Burst --> While in his ghost form, the neighbor charges for 3 seconds before releasing a burst of energy, dealing a bit of stun to nearby kids and locking the use of nearby flashlights and lamps for 10 seconds.
Activation: F
Cooldown: 25s
(Replaces Polterlight)
Scout: Scattershot --> Scout shoots a forward travelling burst that has slightly higher damage and coverage than the standard slingshot, but is lacking in range.
Activation: Q
(Replaces Slingshot)
