Thanks man. I'll definitely give your upload a try here in a bit.
I thought about toggable powerups, but there are a couple reasons why I decided against it:
1. I want moving, pooping, and collecting to be the whole loop of the game. I didn't want to add another level of complexity
2. Similarly, I didn't want to make the game have another button. Players even forget they can poop with spacebar lol
3. It can feel pretty shitty to have saved up tons of eggs to try and go for a carpet-bomb-knockout on your target, only for them to pop a shield or something. I wanna encourage egg hoarding (which makes the game harder because you'll be bigger) rather than not
