Downwell Reloading
Although you have unlimited ammunition, you have to reload frequently. This happens automatically when your Gunboots hit the ground.
Stomping
You can kill some monsters by landing on top of them, in order to save ammunition. Land on turtles, bats, and jellies to kill them. However, this has no effect on snails or red orbs.
Gems
Gems can be found by killing enemies and destroying objects. Collect them to buy items from the shopkeeper and unlock new styles.
Upgrades
After completing a stage, you can select one of three upgrades. Upgrades are stackable, and remain through progressing through new stages. For example, Gunpowder Blocks allows blocks to fire bullets when destroyed, Gem Powered recharges your Gunboots when gems are collected, etc.
