Charge

Charge is the ammunition of the Gunboots, shown as a row of blocks in the HUD. 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 doodad (or collect gems, with the Gem Powered upgrade).
A weapon fires as long as at least one shot's worth of charge remains — with 8 charges and a Shotgun (5 per shot), the leftover 3 still buy you one final blast.
Charge cost by weapon[edit]
| Weapon | Charge per shot |
|---|---|
| Machinegun | 1 |
| Noppy | 1 |
| Puncher | 2 |
| Triple | 2 |
| Burst | 3 |
| Laser | 4 |
| Shotgun | 5 |
The HUD groups the charge blocks to match the current weapon's cost — in fours for the Laser, in fives for the Shotgun, and so on.
Increasing max charge[edit]
- Battery-type gun modules give +2 max charge on pickup.
- The Battery, Energy Drink and Car Battery shop items raise it permanently.
- A 15-kill combo or better gives +1.
- The Tomato gives +10.
