Launcher

Overview

Launcher is a research that will benefit player at the start of the gameplay, specifically moments after launch and it is upgradeable using power points.

Behavior

Each launcher will have its distinct mechanic upon activation of perfect launch. Its distinct mechanic examples are as follows:

• Slow gravity

• Get extra coin

• Extra boost

• ETC

Equip Behavior

• Launcher will be randomized

• Default launcher will be included in the randomization pool

• Having many non-default launcher will increase the probability of getting a non-default launcher in a run

• Non-default launcher is always more beneficial because of the post-launch ability and bonus multiplier

$$bonusMultiplier = baseBonus + growBonus * level$$

Randomization Flow

• When player finish the run, next launcher will be randomized,

• When player exit to main menu before finishing the run, the launcher will stay the same for the next run

• When player restart the game, the launcher will be randomized again, regardless whether player have finish the previous run or not

Randomization Logic

• Weighted random

• Each Launcher may have different weight

• All Launcher regardless it's unlock / purchased status will be included in randomization

• If the result is a locked / not yet purchased launcher, it will be replaced with default Launcher

Visual

All the launcher character design will look like default launcher which is boar, but with different colors and accessories.
