Projectiles

Projectiles are weapons used by enemies in Graveyard Shift.

All projectiles appear spherical, with a certain shade of colour. All enemies fire projectiles or attack in some other way. An enemy that is about to fire a poison ball or slime ball will become stationary. Whenever any enemy is about to fire a projectile, red arrows will point to the mouth of that enemy three times before the enemy fires.

When a projectile is fired, it will rotate and move towards the player and impact him/her at a spot indicated by a red square. All projectiles will harm the player on contact, and all but one cause no secondary effects. The player's shield can be used to block projectiles. Projectiles can also harm the shield if its edges are hit enough times.

Game	Graveyard Shift

Fireballs are a type of projectile in Graveyard Shift.

Appearance

Fireballs appear as fiery orange spheres.

Game information

Fireballs are more powerful than previous other projectiles are are used by gargoyles and big zombies. Fireballs move faster than all other projectiles and can knock a side of the player's shield in one to two hits. Enemies who use them fire multiple fireballs at the player, usually with a two second gap between each shot. Fireballs which are shot multiple times will not be shot at the same location, often the trajectory of the second fireball will be a spot far across or higher up then the previous fireball.

Fireballs can be reflected by sword slashes. However, the reflected balls can't harm the enemies.
