shooting enemies increases the bar on the bottom left screen
Nah, this effect was perfectly and absolutely clear. It gives like 5x-10x boost to shooting speed and you can’t miss it :D
The reduce in shooting speed I was talking about was “small”. Like 0.8x. There were no sound effects. The character just starts shooting a bit but noticeably less often and soon (after like 10-20 seconds) reverts back to normal speed. I can’t say how abrupt those changes are, but feels like it’s relatively abrupt - you can clearly see two different shooting speeds. Of course, maybe that’s some wrong feeling from my side, but I feel kinda confident that the effect actually takes place.
