Hover Hands

**Hover Hands** is the boss (in both meanings of the word) of Winkydink. He is an enormously vain, shallow, and entitled individual, devoted only to what he thinks of as a "good time," regardless of what that actually entails for those around him.

## Appearance

Hover Hands is a large Emoozi, wearing the Toxic Mask and levitating in midair. True to his name, he controls two large hand emoji that float on either side of himself. Beneath the mask, he also wears an eye patch.

## Boss Fight

### Hover Hands

Hover Hands' fight actually consists of 3 enemies: Hover Hands himself and his two hands. Each of his hands attacks Jackie independently, while Hover Hands floats around mostly out of her reach.

Hover Hands himself has only two attacks that he uses fairly infrequently.

* **Fire Tiles** - After recovering from being knocked down, Hover Hands can clap and activate the flame tiles in the arena.
* **Flame Breath** - Hover Hands calls both hands to himself and makes a series of gestures, before breathing a stream of flames at Jackie.

Hover Hands' hands are the real threat in the battle, posessing a slew of attacks that they can use independent of each other. Each hand has its own individual health, and when a hand is defeated it falls to the ground and stops attacking.

* **Explosive Barrage** - The hand makes an "okay" sign, after which it launches 3 poop emoji in quick succession. These fire in a narrow fan and explode momentarily after landing.
* **Snip** - The hand slowly pursues Jackie while making scissor-like motions, damaging her on contact. If the hand manages to hurt Jackie, the attack ends.
* **Punch** - The hand makes a fist and aims at Jackie, telegraphed by a large red indicator. After a few seconds, the fist rushes foward, before becoming stunned for a few moments.
* **Slam** - The hand flies up high and attempts to stay above Jackie, pointing down at her. After a few seconds, it slams down and creates an explosion.
* **Snap** - The hand snaps, summoning 3 Emoozi nearby.

When both hands are knocked down, Hover Hands becomes stunned and falls face-first onto the floor, exposing his vulnerable backside. After several seconds have passed, he regains his composure and lifts off again, which also replenishes the health of both his hands.

### Mask Off Hover Hands

Mask Off Hover Hands has lost his Toxic Mask, and instead sits behind a turntable in the back of his arena. Unlike the first fight, this battle is divided into multiple distinct phases, and Hover Hands himself is not present for the majority of the encounter. Instead, his hands have greatly increased health, and the fight progresses to the next phase when both hands are knocked down.

#### Phase 1

The first phase of the battle is almost identical to the original fight, although Hover Hands does not participate. He can still call the hands to himself and clap, but it appears to have no effect.

* **Explosive Barrage** - Same as the first fight.
* **Snip** - Same as the first fight.
* **Punch** - Same as the first fight.
* **Slam** - Same as the first fight.
* **Snap** - Same as the first fight.

#### Phase 2

After both hands are knocked down, Hover Hands energizes them, replenishing their health and giving one the power of ice and the other the power of fire (represented by painting each hand's nails blue and red, respectively). This makes the music speed up, makes the hands larger, and gives each a new attack, in addition to the previous ones:

* **Snow Glaive** - The ice hand conjures a large snowflake, which it hurls at Jackie after a moment. It flies on a boomerang-like trajectory.
* **Flaming Volley** - The fire hand points at Jackie before firing many fire emoji at her.

Additionally, when snapping, the fire and ice hand now summon Purple and Blue Emoozi, respectively.

#### Phase 3

Once the hands have been knocked down again, they are out of the battle for good. The music drastically slows down, and Hover Hands himself enters the fight. He behaves essentially like an even larger Big Emoozi. When he is defeated, he splits into 2 Big Emoozi, one of which is a smaller version of himself. When that smaller version is defeated, it splits once more into 3 regular Emoozi, one of which is an even smaller version of himself. Jackie only needs to defeat this tiny Hover Hands to end the fight; defeating the other Emoozi is possible but not required. The largest version of Hover Hands has 3 base armor, decreasing by 1 for each progressively smaller version. He can be easily distinguished from the other Emoozi by his armor and eye patch.

* **Inhale** - When Hover Hands is at least the size of a Big Emoozi, he can attempt to inhale Jackie's held item. If he succeeds, Jackie loses the item until she defeats Hover Hands and splits him into smaller Emoozi.
* **Leap** - Like other Emoozi, Hover Hands' only damaging attack is to leap at Jackie after a short windup.
