Theater Masters

In-Game Behavior
The Theater Masters consist of three members, starting with the leader who is the Popking. The Popking mainly attacks with his candy cane sword that rapidly jabs forward, which covers a wide range too. The attack deals small damage with each individual jab, and it's speed makes the attack quite effective. The Popking has another attack where he stops and begins to laugh in place as big jawbreakers quickly fall into the level until the attack is over. There are three types of jawbreakers that can potentially fall down:


 * Red jawbreakers are basic, they fall down and instantly crush anything it lands on, resulting in instant death.
 * Purple jawbreakers also crush you, but they create a shockwave that deals small damage too.
 * Green jawbreakers will fling you rather than crush you, and they also leave you with lingering damage that hits three times before going away. The green jawbreaker's linger effect deals 9 damage each hit.

Eventually, the Popking will enter a new phase where he gains one new attack, and also a small speed boost! Now, while traveling or not, pieces of popcorn from the Popking's body will jump out and explode shortly after. The explosions are small and only deal 25 damage.

Magic Movie Maker is the second and speediest member of the Theater Masters. It wanders around the map moving at high speed, until at complete random where it will project a crowd of people, or it's "movie magic." The Magic Movie Maker's movie magic is the only thing lethal about this member; when you stand in the crowd, they'll begin to judge you almost instantly based on your place on the leaderboard. If you have a high survival streak they'll laugh at you, and if you're the contrary they'll boo at you; either way, your character will become embarrassed and refuse to move for a bit leaving you open as prey. The Magic Movie Maker can summon multiple crowds based on how big the level the Theater Masters are present on is.

With how fast the Magic Movie Maker is, you can somewhat slow it down. If you are moving at least the same speed as it, run right into it and both you and the Magic Movie Maker will crash. The Magic Movie Maker will be stunned for a while, and all of it's projected crowds will disappear; whoever crashed into it will only be tripped, so they won't be stunned for as long. If the Magic Movie Maker crashes into somebody again, despite who it is, it'll direct both the Popking and it's projected crowds to target whoever it clashes with. The projected crowds after this occurrence start slowly shifting towards the target.

The third and final member of the Theater Masters is a box full of gumdrops: the Candy Crasher. Like the previous member, the Candy Crasher wanders around and randomly summons minions. (But at a slower pace) The walking box itself isn't the Candy Crasher, but the gumdrop minions summoned are since the box isn't the one attacking. The Candy Crashers float quickly in a straight line at nearby players and constantly deal 15 damage on contact. If your character isn't staring at a Candy Crasher, it will actually move faster. (Which is indicated by the Candy Crasher twirling at you.)
