Slam

[tulip sable]

So far in my playing of the game, I have noticed there is no way to quickly correct your jump after, say, jumping when there are foes or a random box is below you. So this idea is to add a shield slam that would basically instantly return you to the ground. This is triggered by a button next to the dash, and has a longish cooldown. It is not be an instant tp but a VERY fast slam down, and activates things like random boxes below you. Looking at upgrades in the long run like slayer points, you could add a thing like a damaging shockwave when slamming down, hurting giants and taking out ground foes you jumped over. Another upgrade could be making the slam cooldown be reduced by 0.01% for each shield upgrade you have, adding yet another reason to upgrade your shield, just like sword's soul edge. The last slayer point upgrade idea I have is slam slowdown, which makes random box events activated by the slam last 40% longer.

Note: This adds a new button activated ability, not a passive.

Note 2: The slam will also let you catch a giant if you partly jump over it! (Just had the thought myself)

[sleek sapphire]

this idea seems

incredibly cool

[tulip sable]

Thank you the banana duck! I have a bunch more that I want to refine a little more before I post, but I think this is the best one I had so far.

[smoky plover]

This is a great idea

[sleek sapphire]

can't wait for the update that gives every equipment item a use

what would the book do lol
the spirit
the necklace
the staff

[tulip sable]

Thank you! I am glad I did not post a duplicate idea. (Plus I am rather proud of the shield part of the slam, making upgrading the shield a bit more important)

[sleek sapphire]

the gloves

[smoky plover]

This could have been even better if we didn't have an key item shield already

[tulip sable]

Spirit would probably introduce soul like monsters that try to jump over you or run away, requiring a dash or well timed jump to catch.

[tulip sable]

Does key item mean something like the upgrade for cps or an ability?

[smoky plover]

It's from armory

There is normal items and special key items

[tulip sable]

Ah I see. What does the shield's do?

[sleek sapphire]

coimbo

portmanteau of coin and combo

[smoky plover]

Too much to explain

Basiclly the more coins you get without mussing one the higher the coimbo goes up to a max if ×28

[sleek sapphire]

nah
collect coins to gain coin multiplier
miss a coin and lose multiplier

[tulip sable]

Sounds like I got a lot more training to do, LOL. Barely learned this game had lore yesterday

[smoky plover]

And that ×28 is a coin value multiplier

[sleek sapphire]

shield slam doesn't have to be key item

[tulip sable]

Btw is there a random box that you need to hit multiple times?

[sleek sapphire]

no

why would there be

[tulip sable]

More like the dash upgrade really.

[smoky plover]

I mean
Dual random box

[sleek sapphire]

yeah that's what I'm saying

[sleek sapphire]

ehhhhhhh

[smoky plover]

2 more random boxes

[sleek sapphire]

not the same tho

[smoky plover]

Kinda

[sleek sapphire]

shield slam could be used in bonus stages!

bs4 moment

[smoky plover]

Bs4 never

[sleek sapphire]

bs3 has ||wall jumps||
bs4 has shield slam
bs5 has gravity change
bs6 has time travel

what would a bs7 have

[smoky plover]

Idle slayer 2

[sleek sapphire]

yes

[tulip sable]

The barrel is a rare block that has a separate chance to appear from random boxes. It is filled with gold, but takes three jumps to break open! Each time you hit it, it bounces forward and will move past faster. If you hit it all three times, it will burst into a frenzy while also giving a rather large sum of coins up front.

(This is what I plan to post next once cooldown is over)

[sleek sapphire]

makes it work with coimbo

can't it be something cooler than a barrel?

[smoky plover]

It does feel like dual randomness

[tulip sable]

Yep the main idea is a new button to press besides dash so I should probably make it a bit more informative in the main pitch.

[tulip sable]

Hmmmm, what does an adventurer look for that we could use? A pot would not work very well imo, but I guess it could be satisfying to hear.

[smoky plover]

Armored boxes

[sleek sapphire]

in idle slayer 2 we will be able to go backwards
dagger would increase backstab souls!

[sleek sapphire]

we have silver boxes

what would armored box look like

[smoky plover]

Wow
You just kinda proved my point that we have what he suggested

[tulip sable]

What about a safe!

[sleek sapphire]

yeaah

robbing banks!

[smoky plover]

Alr just ignore my point

[tulip sable]

Silver boxes just increase the event time. Safes would take more hits and be harder to collect because they speed up but have more rewards overall.

[sleek sapphire]

this post needs more upvotes

[smoky plover]

Dual randomness

Works in a different way
But does the same

[sleek sapphire]

but the safe gives like a super frenzy

[smoky plover]

Tri randomness with silverboxes

[tulip sable]

How does it work?

[smoky plover]

You get the event
And 2 more boxes spawn

[sleek sapphire]

tria randomness (silver version of dual randomness)
spawns 3 silver boxes

they are separate boxes and they aren't hard to open

[tulip sable]

At once or over time like mega random boxes

[smoky plover]

Work a different way
Same rewards

[sleek sapphire]

nah safe always frenzy

[smoky plover]

Hmmmm

I dunno

[tulip sable]

What if instead of hitting three times, you can hit it as many times as you want and get increasing cash for each hit, BUT it speeds up each time you hit it?

[sleek sapphire]

YES

[tulip sable]

(Tbh I just want a combo skill box)

WAIT COMBO BOXES!

[sleek sapphire]

COMBOX!!

cu- no-

[tulip sable]

1000000000 IQ

[tulip sable]

-5999 iq

lol

What do you think Neko🍌 ?

[smoky plover]

That is a better idea

[tulip sable]

Good (Also sorry I kept missing you saying barrel was like duel randomness)

[neat birch]

I knew they weren't far, considering they said "boxes below you"
(There is an early-game upgrade that makes that unreasonably hard, to say the least.)

[cinder plinth]

I think the staff can be somehow used in boss battles so it will not be hit return dodge or bow spam

[lethal pendant]

lmao
tho im not at this stage, this sounds like a nice idea

one thing tho, theres a upgrade that makes the boxes move when u jump so it doesnt go above u, and you were saying that it would activate all boxes underneath, so how would that work

and dont get this wrong

im just curious

[fierce remnant]

Where would the button go in portrait mode?

[timber inlet]

Right in the middle?

[neat birch]

the middle of what

[tulip sable]

Next to dash, but much smaller.

[tulip sable]

Perhaps the upgrade would not activate until box magnet activates, giving you one chance to slam the box before it enters magnet mode above you.

[timber inlet]

In the middle between the Buttons - maybe the stats will have to move up ...

[lethal pendant]

true

and for the placement side of things on mobile

u could have a button appear when u jump in the air

ONLY when u jump

idk

[sleek sapphire]

I was gonna say tap on screen while in air to slam but
bow

button is good

[lethal pendant]

but bow

yes

but bow

[stiff stone]

On mobile it could be triggered by a downwards pull on the screen? Maybe a setting to toggle this and / or the button (if people don't want the buttons to take up so much space)

[sleek sapphire]

good suggestion

[tulip sable]

A swipe would be epic.

[sleek sapphire]

how would this work in ||boss fights||

[timber inlet]

A dark Power Blocks you from using your Shield

[sleek sapphire]

damn.

[tulip sable]

Boss yoinks it. Or you could make an additional upgrade that allows the shield to save one hit or smth (Still have yet to reach "midgame", so I am quite for now...)

[tulip sable]

Just a note for when I become active again in this server after gettting further (I forgot this game exists):

Perhaps a mini game related to shield slamming could be like those ball breaker games where you hold down to slam through layers in a rotating tower.
