# Powerups

Powerups are consumable in-game effects that activate when collected. Equip up to 4 at a time in your Locker.

## Available Powerups

| Name            | Effect                                       |
| --------------- | -------------------------------------------- |
| **GHOST MODE**  | Pass through walls briefly                   |
| **MAGNET**      | Pull nearby food toward your head            |
| **SPEED BOOST** | Increase tick rate temporarily — risk/reward |
| **SLOW FIELD**  | Slow tick rate temporarily — easier turns    |

## Equipping Powerups

1. Open **LOCKER** → **ITEM** tab
2. Tap up to 4 powerups → EQUIP
3. They appear in the powerup tray during gameplay

## Important — Anti-Cheat Note

SPEED BOOST is supported by the preflight bot-detection system. Our tickMs floor is 150ms, which accounts for max-speed-boosted gameplay. So legitimately boosted runs aren't flagged. Botting beyond physical limits still gets caught.
