Implement Weapon Powerups #154

Open mcdenhoed opened 7 years ago

Would be cool to have "powerup" items fly around that you can pick up.

Power up ideas:

Bullets that shoot asteroids without dying
Shooting 2 at once in the same direction (this could be persistent, like in star fox)
Shooting 3 or 5 or so at slightly different angles
Lowered cooldown
Longer bullet time-out

I had a story based power-up idea as well. Basically you "find" Kara, perhaps in some kind of escape pod. When you pick her up, she provides some kind of a power-up. Maybe an "auto-turret" that shoots different colored bullets at nearby asteroids.

This could be demo'd before levels (#134), but ideally would mesh best with levels. Relates to #15.
