Bosses

Boss Levels are unique levels that were added in on Oct. 31, 2017 as part of the Halloween Update. They are different from all the other levels because no weapons can drop and they come with their own music. At the start of a boss level, a pumpkin glowing in certain color (depending on which boss) will drop from the ceiling and slowly float down waiting for a player to obtain it. During this time, weapon spawners start spawning weapons and players can get guns before anyone becomes the boss. Once a player becomes the boss, they lose their ability to punch or kick, gains the ability to fly, and all players must team up to defeat the boss which is much more powerful and has an assortment of attacks. Bullets fired from guns also becomes white and does not hurt any other players who aren't the boss, although players can still throw guns at each other and attack with melee. When the boss is defeated they will fall to ground and remaining players can fight each other normally again until the round is over with the last person standing winning. Depending on how many players there are the boss's health will be increased.

### Appearance

The pumpkin appears to have large eyes and a mouth that glow one of 4 colors: Blue, Red, Yellow, or Rainbow. Although when a player gets the pumpkin it only appears to be yellow and not glowing.

When a player becomes a boss, the pumpkin covers their head and they obtain glowing stick wings, these wings match the color of the boss they are. They will also have a pointer that all players can see, this helps the boss aim in all the chaos but also helps all the other players avoid the attacks. The pointer will appear grayed-out when waiting between phases or when it has a cool down, and will be bright and glowing when the boss is ready to attack.

A health bar will appear on the top of the screen when a player becomes the boss, and this health bar will match the color of that player. Above the health bar will display the phase and under it a timer showing how much time the phase has left.

## Boss Abiltites

There are four boss types: Blue, Red, Yellow and Rainbow. And they all appear in that order from weakest to strongest.

### **Stickula**(Blue Boss)

* Shotgun

This attack involves shooting 3 slow-moving glowing orbs that spread out much like a shotgun.

* Burst

The boss shoots a stream of fast moving glowing orbs that can be very dangerous. Although each one deals a small amount of damage, if a whole stream hits a player it could easily kill them.

* Bounce

This attack involves spinning wheels that bounce around the whole area and are shot at fast intervals. Unfortunately there is a bug where these do no damage on online lobbys.

### **Dr Jekyll and Mr stick**(Red Boss)

* Pew

Basic orbs that can be shot at fast intervals by red boss, deals decent amount of damage.

* Saw

A whole saw encircles the boss and can only deal damage when coming very close to players. Bullets are deflected by this but still deal a tiny amount of damage to the boss. Due to the level design this attack can be easily avoided but can be deadly if the boss traps a player in a corner.

* Ring

The ring involves shooting a large orb at a fast speed away from the boss. This orb explodes after about 2 seconds and any players right next to the orb will be sent flying away. When this orb explodes it forms a ring of smaller orbs that spread out around it in a circle shape. These deal medium damage but several can kill a player.

### **Pumpkenstein**(Yellow Boss)

* Pew

Basic orbs that move at a medium pace and shot and medium intervals, these deal a decent amount of damage

* Wall

A wall that is about the size of 2 players and moves at a very slow pace, this wall will block bullets but every bullet fired at it will break a piece. Players can jump on top of this wall and the wall will deal a tiny amount of damage to players it hits.

* Beams

Very similar to the lava laser gun and even makes the same sound as one. 3 of these beams are shot at once and only give players about 1 second to move out of the way before they strike. This attack is very deadly because it deals large amounts of damage and can insta-kill.

* Another Wall

This attack is the same as the "Wall" attack but comes after the Beams.

### **Spoopy Disco Pumpkin**(Rainbow Boss)

* Pew

The basic pew that is in rainbow colors. These ones are very large unlike the other bosses and deal a lot more damage. They are slow moving and shot at a medium pace.

* Waves

This attack must be shot at the colored ground to work. These are shot a slow pace and are fast moving. When they hit the floor it creates a wave that moves away from each other. They deal a decent amount of damage to players and can throw them up into the air.

* Implosion

This is the rainbow boss's best but most easily avoidable attack, and there is a lot of waiting time in between the attack. Can only be shot once and at the colored floor to work. It appears as a giant slow moving orb that has 4 tiny ones spinning around it. Upon hitting the ground it will create a large circle and large waves similar to the previous attack. These waves can deal massive amounts of damage to players nearby and send them flying very high into the air. When the circle lands it will appear to "charge up" and have distinctive arrows in the background pointing towards it. When this happens, players will have about 3 seconds to get inside the circle (the safe zone) before the entire map around it has a bright explosion that instantly kills any player not inside the circle.

## Known Bugs

* If a boss is beaten quickly enough its health bar will remain at the top of the screen even when it is defeated.
* Sometimes the boss's healthbar will not drain as players attack the boss
* Sometimes players cannot obtain the pumpkin due to desync
* If all the players kill each other before anyone collects the pumpkin, the boss music will persist on into the next level
* On very rare occassions, 2 players can collect the pumpkin and become the boss due to desync
* Sometimes if players maps aren't synced correctly someone can become a boss in a completely different level
* Blue boss's Bounce attack doesn't deal damage in online lobbies
* Commonly the bullets will not turn white and can still harm other non-boss players
