Laser

Type	Gun module (L)
Charge cost	4 per shot
Damage	25 (35 while gem high)
Japanese	レーザービーム

Laser (レーザービーム) is a weapon that fires an instantaneous piercing beam straight down for four charges. The beam passes through enemies and breakable blocks, stopping only at solid ground, and firing it lifts the player upward like a jump.

Behavior

At 25 damage per beam (35 while gem high) the laser has the highest single-hit damage in the game, and since it pierces, one shot can hit several enemies in a line. A default charge meter holds only two shots, and bullet-immune enemies like turtles are unaffected.
