Voidigo: Powerups and Items

If you don’t know how to get items in Voidigo or what an item does, we have explained the items and power-ups in this guide.

Starters Guide to Powerups of Voidigo

This is to explain various things about powerups the tutorial doesn’t teach you. This guide only covers powerups, not the weapons, as each weapon is fairly unique. This guide will first go over powerup mechanics in general, before then getting into some specifics.

Acquiring Powerups

Shop

Every floor has 1 room dedicated to having a shop. The shop always sells 8 items; 2 are weapons, and 3 are powerups. The last 3 I’ll explain later, but on floor 1 they are almost always more powerups. The base prices ranges from 15-35 shards. The price is not random, but based on if it’s a weapon and the item’s rarity.

Rarity

You can generally tell how good an item is by it’s rarity. This can be seen ingame through the colored outline of an item. Green is common, blue is uncommon, pink is rare, and Yellow is very rare.

Powerup bundle

Powerup Bundles let you choose 1 of 3 powerups. You get them as a reward instead of finding one spawned in a room.

Challenge rooms

These are the most consistent way to get free* items
*Disclaimer: Does not account for lose of health and or dying.
When you enter you have 3 or 4 options, one of which is “no additional challenge”. This is not to be confused with “leave”.

Upon completion of any challenge room, you will always get a powerup bundle. You will get the bonus item if you succeed in the challenge. Fail, and the consequences are not lethal, but indirectly can be.

Upgrading

How to upgrade

There are 3 main ways to upgrade a powerup

1. Buying from the shop. If you have enough powerups, three upgradable powerups will be selected. Buying will raise upgrade once. The price is pretty cheap and is based on rarity.
2. Finding a upgrade bundle. These give you 3 options to upgrade the selected item once (one time use)
3. Find a corrupt ugrade bundle. These give you 3 options to sacrifice to upgrade the highlighted item (multiple uses)

Why would I want to upgrade

There are 3 reasons I can think of for upgrading an item

1. It makes the item better
2. You get the items essence when you upgrade it to max
3. There is a bonus for maxing an item even if you have the essence

Viewing upgrades

There are 3 2 ways of seeing how much something is upgraded: before upgrading, and in the powerups tabs. You want to see how much you need to upgrade max a powerup before acquiring the powerup? Too bad.

Identifying Powerups

Powerup Format

A lot of items can be explained as “[modifier][object]”. I can’t do every item or even effect(there is a character limit). However, if you know what a “button” does, and what “rat” does, you’ll know what “Rat Button” does. And if your confused, pick it up, read the description, and try it out.

Modifiers

Note that I didn’t experiment with these, only took notes based off ingame observation. So details may exclude mechanics I don’t know about. Also not everything is here; character limit.

Name	Image	Description
Bat		Spawns bat. They will fly around, taking a bite out of nearby enemies.
Bone		Spawns bones. They kind of just spread out and fall on the ground.
Bomb		KABOOM. Does not destroy bullets like some games.
Bullet		Fires basic bullets. They can be greatly affected by other powerups.
Emeraldon		Fires green lazers that ricochet off walls. Not the most powerful but can inaccurately hit a large area.
Frog		Frogs do small jumps and then explode when they hit an enemy. Poor Lord Hoppington.
Soul		Flies around and can sometimes paralyze enemies.
Pause		The effect is very rare, but it allows you to cosplay Dio/Sakuya by attacking enemies when they can’t move.
Rat		Rats latches onto enemies and deal damage over time. It’s like poison but cooler!
Snake		Spawns Snake eggs. It’s poison and rats combined.
Void		Very rare, makes bullets bounce and reverse.
Weptek		Fires rockets. No, you cannot rocket jump with them.

Elemental Modifier

Electricity		Applies an electric elemental effect on activation. Gives a tingly feeling
Fire		Applies a fire elemental effect on activation. The fire won’t reduce your health, but it’s still unpleasant for the character.
Gunpowder		Applies a gunpowder elemental effect on activation. Combines well with other elements.
Ice		Applies an ice elemental effect. The enemies will wish they had a jacket.
Poison		Applies a poison elemental effect. Yes, poison is an element.
Water		Applies a water elemental effect. Hydrate!
Wind		Applies a wind elemental effect. It Wimdy

Object

For all objects with a cooldown there is a visual indicator for when cooldown is up, usually being the object appearing with a sound effect and flying above you.
