Overview[edit]
Kaboom Kola is Catastropop’s Spicy Cherry energy soda, designed to increase all weapon damage. Each purchase boosts the player’s Damage perk by +1, making every shot pack more punch regardless of the weapon.
Mechanics[edit]
- Interact range: 16 units.
- Interaction: Instant; spawns a drink entity (currently using `sHandlingDrink`).
- Scaling: Cost increases with each Damage perk level.
- Audio: sndBuy on purchase, sndPowerDrink on drink.
Cost[edit]
- Formula: `
cost = 1000 * (perks.damage + 1)` - Rounding: `
cost = round(cost / 25) * 25`
Effect[edit]
- Per purchase: `perks.damage += 1`
- Global buff: All weapons benefit from the increased damage perk.
- Stacking: Linear — each point applies equally across all weapons.
Strategy[edit]
- Core perk: Strong early investment; fewer bullets per kill = more points earned.
- Synergy: Great alongside the Beastinator, multiplying gains from weapon evolutions.
- Scaling cost: Gets expensive fast, so balance it against survivability perks like health or speed.
Trivia[edit]
- The internal sprite is currently called `sHandlingDrink`, since the damage and handling sprites were swapped in development. The team felt the art fit better the other way around, but the sprite names were never renamed.
- “Kaboom Kola” beat out dev jokes like “Cherry Pain Punch” and “Overkill Orange.”
