Soccer Balls!

I added a new power up today. The soccer ball.

The first thing I think about with these is how would they, tactically, be advantageous compared to other powerups? What makes them unique? Is it helpful? Well, one common problem in any bullet hell is enemies that start sneaking by you before you can properly get them scoped with one of your guns. Frankly, enemies can shoot at you from anywhere on screen, so that's a particular problem in this bullet hell too.

If one's above you, and you have the soccer ball, you can use. The player will "kick" (to the extent that a paper-airplane space ship can be thought to) the ball up in the air and bounce it there for some time. It will do considerable damage to anything it hits. I've play-tested it and soak tested it, and it's both stable and legitimately helpful.

I may still tweak its spawn rate down the road. It starts showing up after about forty seconds.
