That looks really fun I can’t wait to give that a try. Still need to check out 13 and 14.
I think it’s cool that ZUN keeps things fresh and tries new mechanics while keeping the core of the series. I think the real trick is making the mechanic something that is really a part of the game rather than just some sort of a gimmick that’s added on but really could have been left out. From the game play it looks like the items or powers are completely necessary to the game.
I think that I may enjoy them more then standard bombs since some of them seem a lot less like tapping out and more like helping hand.
I’d be curious to see if true pacifistic runs might be more possible since I think some of the items don’t deal damage to the boss. But I’m not sure if you’d run out before the boss would die.
