Synaesthasia

Description
Synaesthesia (Synesthesia)

The steam icon and first image are not completely accurate as to how the sprite looks, those do not follow standard procedure while the actual sprite does. The general concept is the same and the difference probably isn't noticable

"In one common form of synesthesia, known as grapheme-color synesthesia or color-graphemic synesthesia, letters or numbers are perceived as inherently colored" - Wikipedia

When this item is picked up Isaac's tears will change colour and have a different tear effect based on which direction he is facing. Blue tears will spawn creep on contact with an enemy, green tears will poison enemies, red tears will burn enemies, and yellow tears will slow enemies and apply a yellow overlay to them.

Picking up the item will also increase Isaac's tears.

The colours in the item are what I once saw someone with Synaesthesia say the colours of north (blue), south (green), east (red), and west (yellow) were

Synaesthasia synergises with all types of lasers EXCEPT circle lasers, because apparently the game handles them completely differently and so they don't work with my method (because why not)

Synaesthasia also synergises with loads of different tear modifier items allowing for loads of fun synergies.

Additionally synaesthasia synergises with Mom's Knife, the Mom's Knife synergies, Dr. Fetus and the Dr. Fetus synergies

Synaesthesia spawns in item, boss, and angel rooms at varying rates

FUTURE:
Synergy stuff (Airstrikes, Ludo(Partially working with some weapon types) and Circle Lasers)

So no Rep updates?

This is a very old mod, much older than the forgotten. The forgotten's club is technically a knife, which is likely the source of the issue. Unfortunately I don't plan to update this mod in the future

Love this mod, running into an issue with at least the Forgotten, potentially other characters. When I pick up synesthesia, I can no longer melee attack to the right. I can throw the bone to right, but not swing. it doesn't seem to affect the soul version of Forgotten either

Nice! But can you make a custom item idea i came up with? You dont have to though.
ITEM: Ripped flesh ITEM POOL: Devil room, 1-3 hearts
Each time you take damage, you shoot out a barrage of tears with 0.25x your damage, barrage similar to monstros lung.
But if hit more, the damage and barrage of tears are multiplied.
For example, if hit two times, instead of 0.25x damage and a barrage of bullets, you fire 0.50x damage and two barrages of bullets.
Largest hit amount before stopped multiplying is 5.
Thank you!

The problem isn't brimstone on it's own. I believe it's circular brimstone causing the problem. And it's a real shame, it would feel wrong to just completely ignore brimstone if I've made even Dr fetus work.

Maybe have brimstone unaffected?

Honestly I've retired this for now. I have ludovico working well except for the brimstone synergy. Where it flashes fast enough to trigger epilepsy. I'm not releasing it in that state. Until this problem is fixed I can't keep working on it. And I know it's not a problem on my end. I'm setting the colour literally every frame but it keeps resetting
