Candle Knight - orb types
Note: This is a quick summary with added materials for reference. Click here for the full dark orb design document.
Blue Orb
Fires straight magic bullets in one or multiple directions. Its simplicity allows it to compliment many types of challenges. Increasing its firing rate was useful to create 'bullet walls' where you need to destroy the orb in order to pass.

Red Orb
Projects a long “targeting” laser that points exactly towards the player. After a set time interval, the laser stops following the player and the real laser fires in its last position; this laser is a wide damaging beam that remains active for a brief period of time.
