Emotions
Each player chooses from one of eight emotions, which each have their own soundtrack, color, and unique effect on a powerball they have an affinity with.
The emotions are as follows; Rage, Fear, Envy, Melancholy, Bliss, Courage, Passion, and Rapture. Only Rage and Passion are usable in the trial version. The powerballs are as follows: Jumpbash, Obscure, Vortex, Extract, Snakeit, Shield, Powerslide, and Speedup
- Jumpbash punches through the ground, damaging the enemy emotion and forcing them to lose emotes, which sets them back. Rage has a stronger hit in a wider area.
- Obscure blinds the enemy to your side of the field, hiding your movements from them, which is useful if you want to attack or defend against an emotion. Fear's Obscure lasts much longer and covers a majority of the field.
- Vortex sucks in surrounding emotes. If the player chooses Envy, Vortex lasts longer with a wider range.
- Extract lays a trap, holding the enemy emotion if they pass over it. When Melancholy uses Extract, the trap is deeper and lasts longer.
- Snakeit leaves a trail behind you that will harm the enemy emotion if they pass through it. When Bliss uses Snakeit, the enemy emotion takes more damage and the trail lasts longer.
- Shield protects the user from attacks from the enemy emotion. Courage's Shield lasts longer than the rest.
- Powerslide dashes quickly in a straight line, which can bash the enemy emotion. Passion's Powerslide is faster, goes further, and has more force.
- Speedup dramatically increases your emotion's speed. Rapture doubles the Speedup bonus.

Famous quotes containing the word emotions:
“Virtues are not emotions. Emotions are movements of appetite, virtues dispositions of appetite towards movement. Moreover emotions can be good or bad, reasonable or unreasonable; whereas virtues dispose us only to good. Emotions arise in the appetite and are brought into conformity with reason; virtues are effects of reason achieving themselves in reasonable movements of the appetites. Balanced emotions are virtue’s effect, not its substance.”
—Thomas Aquinas (c. 1225–1274)
“Each man must grant himself the emotions that he needs and the morality that suits him.”
—Rémy De Gourmont (1858–1915)
“The business of the poet is not to find new emotions, but to use the ordinary ones and, in working them up into poetry, to express feelings which are not in actual emotions at all.”
—T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
