Each weapon has a specific condition that must be met if it is to be fired. For example, when firing the pistol, bullets will be blue until they bounce and turn orange. When the bullet is blue, it will heal an enemy. When the bullet is orange, it will damage them. The player has numerous abilities such as dash and crouch. When utilized correctly, the player can dodge bullets while at the same time ricocheting their way to victory
