It can be challenging to eat corpses while managing a combo, but this upgrade will probably still provide a slow yet steady source of health regeneration. This can often kill enemies above you that you have no way of damaging otherwise, and as such is quite good at preventing damage.Īllows you to heal one point of health by consuming 10 corpses. This one shoots a bullet upward every time you collect a gem. Still, it is very helpful for continuing combos in tricky areas like Limbo.Īnother useful gem-based upgrade.

However, it’s less reliable because gems may not always be directly in your path of descent when you need them, and it is tricky to collect them without the Gem Attractor. In some ways, this upgrade is more versatile than the jetpack it lets you shoot enemies rather than having to bounce on them, and can give you a chance to shoot through destructible blocks. This is similar to the Safety Jetpack in that it lets you continue your combos longer after running low on charge, in this case by recharging your gunboots when you pick up gems. You’ll get the most use out of the jetpack if you use it in short pulses, as each pulse will instantly cancel most of your downward velocity and will use very little fuel. It gives you a healthy supply of fuel that you can use to stay aloft after your gunboots run out of charge. This upgrade is fantastic, especially early on or if you haven’t acquired Gem Powered yet. These upgrades are often essential to a good run, and can make your life much easier.
