Millipede

Description
After pickup, Isaac no longer has tear delay, but he can't fire a tear if there is already one on screen (familiar tears don't count). It also gives a 0.2 shot speed bonus.

It's an interesting mechanic that forces the player to adopt a risky playstyle and there are lots of synergies (both very good and very bad).

Insane synergies: Technology 1, especially combined with multi shot (inner eye, quad shot, etc.)

Good synergies: Items that increase tear travel speed. Items that upgrade damage. Items that fire multiple tears in one shot. Items that lower tear fire rate (the penalty is nullified). Items that give non-explosive tear effects.

Bad synergies: Items that give better tear rate, specially the ones that lower damage or other stats. Any type of piercing or spectral tears.

Terrible synergies: soy milk, cursed eye.

Charge items override this effect and behave as usual.

This item is loosely based on game mechanics from the 80's "Millipede" game.

It works as intented most of the time, and because of that, it absolutely destroys with technology.
Good mod

I have found a potentially fatal issue. Bombs fired by Dr. Fetus are not recognized as tears, and can be fired infinitely quickly. Combine this with 20/20, Glitter Bombs, and Sad Bombs, and you have a broken game.

Item sprite is a bit iffy, but the concept is amazing and balance is very good. It adds a whole new dynamic to the game, and the earlier in the run you get it, the better it is. I really enjoy this item and screwing around with the synergies it has. Thanks for making it!

yeah crazy nufodib, like you can do better, all you do is ask everyone to do a gay fairy trinket. And its worse than this.

Great idea for a item, but the item sprite looks a tad iffy.

I feel bad for the person who finds this with spectral tears, has billiards, and accidentally shoots 1 over a rock... with ground based enemies.

They softlocked themselves if they don't have bombs.
