Combat Messages

<Name> darts back and forth past your foe making weird blooping noises, confusing him.

<Name> clamps onto your opponent's leg, which doesn't seem to actually hurt him, but is powerfully distracting.

Your opponent seems puzzled by this weird yellow most-of-a-circle that's running around.

  <Name> smiles at you with those big red wax lips. All he needs is a bow and a beauty mark to go with them.

Notes

• Was given a major buff on June 15, 2015. Before then, its only functions were blocking and producing yellow pixels, which had fewer things they could be crafted into.
• The power pill drop mechanic has not been fully spaded, but it appears that drops can occur between 10 to 20 combats, weighted toward the lower end of the range. This indicates that power pills use increasing drop mechanic similar to spleen familiars. Existing data would support a 10% drop chance on the tenth combat, increasing by 10% for every combat thereafter.

Trivia

• An obvious reference to Pac-Man.
• Puck Man was the original Japanese name of Pac-Man, but this was changed when the first arcade game was localized, to prevent vandalism of arcade cabinets by changing the P to an F.
