Capsules

By Lavos and Joozey

 

Capsules are special items that you can purchase from some merchants. They help you induce the effects that you normally would achieve only from powerups. To use a capsule, pause the game during a level (press either P or Escape) and the capsules you are holding will be shown. Simply click on the one you wish to use, and it will be activated immediately. Also, you can press Enter (without pausing) to use the right-most capsule showing in the bottom-right corner, by the missile display. Once a capsule is used, you must buy a new one before you can use its effect once more.

 

Note that you may hold only one of each capsule color at a time, so use them wisely!

 

The 4 Types


There are 4 types of capsules all performing different actions when you use them. The list below describes them all in detail.    

 

Volt capsule (yellow) 

The volt capsule works as a [V] powerup upon using it. All of your balls will change into a volt ball. You are advised to use this when you have many balls at once flying through your screen and are in a level full of hard bricks. 

 

Fire capsule (red) 

The fire capsule works as an [F] powerup upon using it. All of your balls will change into a fire ball. It is best to use it when there are many brown bricks in the level, and it's not likely that you will receive another fire powerup. 

 

Ice capsule (blue) 

The ice capsule works as a [G] powerup upon using it. All of your balls will change into an ice ball. When the level consists of unbreakable blocks, or special blocks like death, laser or reducines, this capsule could come quite in handy. Be aware that the helpful blocks will be destroyed as well, including crucial mission objective blocks. 

 

Black hole capsule (purple) 

The Black hole capsule works as a [Q] powerup upon using it. A black hole will appear in the middle of the screen, sucking away any block in range. Great in dense tough levels, but less pleasant when there are loads of minerals or mission blocks. They too will be lost.
