Spin Attack Upgrade?

Upgrade 1: Unlock spin attack, double click mouse1 and it will spin 360º with the sword extended out.

Upgrade 2: Spin 25% faster.

Upgrade 3: Spin 2 times and its 50% faster.

Upgrade 2 should be 50% faster and Upgrade 3 25% faster and x2 spin. Other than that, I like it!

why lower the speed on a bigger upgrade? the faster you spin, the lower then chance you get hit by an enemy dont you think?

Sounds potentially overpowered, but it might be fun. Could also imagine a model where it keeps rotating you if you hold down the mouse button. Some of the Jedi Knight games had some crazy combos like that.

it should consume energy to spin maybe the more hits you get could slow the spin or require more energy

You said overpowered, how about you stay on the spot (Don't move legs) and get hit by arrows even if you have the block arrow upgrade. Just to make some risk of using that power so players ponder quickly to spin or not.

thats my original idea, stay on the spot. Look at my animation below for more details guys

I can already do that by horizontal swing and turning the mouse, but you could add a version where your entire chest spins around and costs energy the longer you keep it active

it does sound a little OP... how about adding it right here:

and if someone attacks you on the back while spining you can die or get thrown on the ground like when spidertron's bomb hits you.

so thats why you add speed on the other upgrades, or maybe that will make it bad...

or make it stop at own will so that you dont get hit when a jetpack robot is rushing at you

i dont know, i might make a little animation to demostrate my idea.

lol

I did end up making an animation, kinda like this (ignore poses i just want to demostrate the movement and how it could work if it ends up added in)

Neat animation! Love how the head falls off. :)

Yes, I see what you mean. I'll think about it!
