Powerup

Powerup Powerups come in three varieties, Red Firepower, Yellow Accelerates, and Blue Shutdowns. When a Powerup is dropped, it will start a slow timer that causes it to cycle through the different Powerup types, in order, Red, then Yellow, the Blue. Powerups drop at regular intervals while defeating enemies, or after completing certain phases of bosses.

Red Firepower
When this Powerup is acquired, two small floating drone units will appear flanking the player, and rotate with the player to face whichever direction the player faces. Each drone will fire a single stream of bullets in a straight line, as long as the attack key is held (left-click by default). They will continue firing even if the player is swapping between their primary and heavy weapon. This Powerup lasts about one to one and a half minutes (exact duration unknown). Picking up another while it is still in effect will increase the duration remaining on the drones. The drones are actual physical objects, and as such, can get pushed out of position against walls (though they snap back as soon as there is space for them) and can also block bullets from enemy units. Attempting to use them as a shield is not recommended, however, as the have a rather small hitbox, and are unreliable at best.

Yellow Accelerate
When this Powerup is acquired, the player will grow a pair of yellow wings, and their movement speed will be greatly increased. Additionally, Orbs and Batteries will be drawn to the player with much greater strength, causing it to become much easier to absorb them without having to dive through waves of enemies to get at them. This Powerup lasts between one and a half and two minutes (exact duration unknown, but longer than Firepower). Picking up one of these while already under its effects will cause the duration to extend, similar to Firepower.

Blue Shutdown
When this Powerup is acquired, the player will emit a pulse of energy that knocks out all drones in its area, which is almost large enough to the entire area of an arena. Additionally, the player will gain a temporary invulnerability, that has a duration about the same as the knockout effect. Some important things to note are that this Powerup has the shortest duration of all at only 5 seconds, and does not effect enemies that spawn after the shock wave has passed their position.
