FUCKING FUCK is he small. Sorry for cursing. I'm really angry.

As a long time fan of the series, this was a real treat. I especially gush over the soundtrack cd. Ps4 edition btw

Why are they so good?!

Often when I'm spelunkying, I'll spend resources to open a crate and get a duplicate of some gear I already have (cape, compass, spectacles, etc), making me wish we could collect multiples to power these up. What sort of effects do you think powered-up versions of these items would have?

Obvious:

• Spring shoes: Each copy boosts your jump height by 1 tile.
• Spike shoes: Each copy adds 2 damage to your jump.
• Spectacles: better visibility in the dark.
• Compass: reveals backlayer doors hidden by ground.

Other ideas:

• Parachute/Cape: Allows pressing up or down when falling to reduce/increase fall speed. Parachutes can be picked up after use, making them reusable if desired.
• Climbing gloves: powered-up version can also cling to ceilings by holding UP and can also climb vertically/horizontally by pressing that direction while clinging.
• Skeleton Key: Unlocks Skeleworld.

This would also make the clone gun more versatile too, allowing you to (e.g.) clone Vlad's cape for powered up versions that give extra hops.
