The Gamekid is an unlockable activated item.
Effects
Turns the character into a Pac-Man-like creature for six seconds and provides the following effects:
- Gives invulnerability.
- Inflicts fear on all enemies.
- Removes the ability to shoot tears.
- Allows Isaac to deal 40 contact damage to enemies, at the rate of one hit per second per enemy.
- Replenishes a Half Red Heart for every two enemies killed.
Notes
- The invulnerability effect negates all forms of damage, including health loss from Blood Donation Machines and Devil Beggars.
- This also negates damage from entering or exiting a Curse Room, but the effect is immediately removed upon walking through the door.
- Does not prevent Red Heart container loss from Health Down pills or Devil deals.
- This item is very similar to
My Little Unicorn, trading the extra speed for the ability to gain health from killing enemies. - Power Pill! has the same effect as The Gamekid, same goes with Cartridge on getting hit.
Interactions
- Book of Virtues: Spawns wisps in the inner ring, looking like little Pac-Men. Wisps' tears have the Anti-Gravity effect and can inflict fear on enemies.
