Overview
Fleet Feet Fizz is Catastropop’s Nitro Lime formula that boosts your **Speed perk**. Each purchase adds **+1 Speed**, translating to a **+0.1 px/frame** increase in movement. It’s the simplest way to keep distance from the horde and reposition for headshots.
Mechanics
- **Interact range:** 16 units.
- **Interaction:** Instant; spawns a drink entity and applies the perk immediately.
- **Cap:** At **15 Speed**, the machine is **Out of Order**.
- **Audio:** **sndBuy** on purchase, **sndPowerDrink** on drink.
Cost
- **Base formula:** `
cost = 1000 * (perks.speed + 1)` - **Rounding:** `
cost = round(cost / 25) * 25` → multiple of **25**. - **Scaling:** Gets pricier the faster you already are (cost scales with your current **perks.speed**).
Effect
- **Per purchase:** `perks.speed += 1`
- **Movement gain:** `+0.1 px/frame` per Speed point (linear).
- **Total at cap (15):** `+1.5 px/frame` over base.
Strategy
- **Headshot economy:** More speed = easier kiting and cleaner headshots, which means **fewer shots per kill** and **more points overall**.
- **Diminishing returns (cost, not power):** The linear speed gain stays good; the **price** is what ramps hard — plan purchases around wave transitions.
- **Pairs well with:** Serendipity Soda (safer box rolls when you can reposition) and Beastinator (kite while upgrading mid-round).
Trivia
- Internal nickname was “Leg Day Lemonade” for about 15 minutes.
- Speed cap of 15 was chosen to preserve map readability and enemy tracking.
