To further the experience each player also has a single special attack
to change up any encounter. These special attacks usually are connected to
one of the two weapons, a player is carrying at the moment. For example,
a special attack connected to the hammer weapon involves the player spinning
in circles hitting enemies like a cyclone. Other special attacks involve
laying mines for enemies to run over. Each special attack changes the way
an encounter goes, usually for the best. To limit the use of these attacks,
each attack requires a one use potion in order for it to work. Once the
player goes through their three potions the only way to acquire more is
through combat. Enemies drop a variety of things including health potions,
special attack potions, and money. Combat becomes an enjoyment as the player
battles a variety of creative and colorful enemies.
