Behavior

QCat

Semi-invisible on appearance.

It stays idle until you get close and then chases you. If it hits you, you get damaged, if you shoot him it teleports and runs away. On low entropy, it turns invisible again. On high entropy, it turns visible and chases you.

This uses the idea of observer effect and Schrödinger’s cat, as the act of being aware of the cat alters its state (visibility).

QJelly

It starts with high entropy, and quickly loses it.

When it loses more than half of its entropy, it divides itself in 3 possible states, and you need to lower their entropy to find out if they are the real one or not.

When it divides, its entropy goes back up to maximum, and if low again, it repeats.

This resembles the concept of quantum walks, as it explores different paths to chase you.

QTurtle

(Intended functionality)

It has a shield that it uses to cover itself. However, if you lower its entropy,you can shoot it and your bullets will traverse his shield.

It resembles the concept of quantum tunneling, as particles are able to penetrate the barrier.

Effect

X-gate

(Intended functionality):

Resembling quantum X-gates, it alters the player’s ability to shoot, causing the bullets to move backwards.

Y-gate

(Intended functionality):

Resembling quantum Y-gates, it makes you shoot on a Y shape.

H-gate

(Intended functionality):

Inspired by quantum Hadamard gates, it introduces randomness in shooting, making the shots in random directions.
