Effects
Projectiles rotate upwards Vastly increased projectile lifetime

Spiral Beam is a Primary Weapon for Nina. When equipped, shots fired by the player will rotate upwards relative to the player's current facing direction - rotating anti-clockwise if the player is facing right, and clockwise if the player is facing left. The projectiles will gradually move away from the player as it orbits them until it dissipates.

Trivia

• Shots fired with Retrobeam will rotate in the opposite direction. Despite this, shots fired with Retrofork will rotate along with the main shot.
• Shots fired with Vertibeam will always rotate clockwise, no matter which direction the player is facing.
• Shots fired with Wave Beam will instead spin in a small circle while slowly moving forwards.

History

• Early Access 0.46.0:
  • No longer gradually increases damage the longer the projectile is active for.
  • Now collides with walls and ceilings (but not floors) if the line of sight from the shot's origin is blocked. Previously, walls and ceilings were completely ignored.
• Early Access 0.45.0: Released.
