Type	Weapon system
Default form	Machinegun, 8 charges
First appearance	Downwell (2015)

The Gunboots are Welltaro's weapon and the heart of DownwellTemplate:'s movement: boots that fire downward while airborne. Every shot slows your descent, letting you hover, steer, and clear a landing spot below.

Behavior

The Gunboots fire whatever weapon your current gun module provides — every run starts with the Machinegun and 8 charges. Charges refill completely whenever you land on the ground, stomp an enemy, or bounce off a destructible prop, so the rhythm of the game is fire–land–refill. Stomping itself deals heavy damage (enough to kill most regular enemies outright).

Some weapons do more than slow your fall: the Shotgun and Laser kick you upward about as much as a jump.
