Effects

  • The familiar also has a chance to re-roll pickups that it passes over into other pickups, chests, or items, in an uncleared room only (with at least one enemy alive).

Notes

  • GB Bug can block projectiles.
  • GB Bug does more damage per second than Collectible The Peeper iconThe Peeper, with the added random status chance.

In-game Footage

Trivia

  • This item's in-game appearance may be a reference to "Missingno.", a famous bug occurring in the first Pokémon games.
  • As Edmund confirmed on Twitter the pickup quote "Game breaking bug, right away!" is a reference to a quote by Phil Fish in Indie Game: The Movie, where he says the same words when a bug is discovered in FEZ on the first day it is being shown at PAX.
