Every run starts with 8 charges; firing consumes an amount that depends on the current weapon, and the meter refills completely when you land, stomp an enemy, or bounce off a [[Doodads|doodad]] (or collect gems, with the [[Gem Powered]] upgrade).<br /> <br /> A weapon fires as long as at least one shot&#039;s worth of charge remains — with 8 charges and a [[Shotgun]] (5 per shot), the leftover 3 still buy you one final blast.<br /> <br /> == Charge cost by weapon ==<br /> <br /> {| class=&quot;wikitable&quot;<br /> !
