KING

KING is a special mole in BONK! The Mole Show, the pixel-art whack-a-mole roguelite.

Level 1

Wears a Crown that grows with every mole popped while it is on screen. BONK the King to cash the Crown in.

Indirect hits (zaps, blasts, pulses) charge the Crown extra fast.

Stays on stage longer and hoards a huge Crown, but only if you find him.

Cashing him pays less, but a Crown of 10+ plants special moles in future rows.

Chemistry recipe	With	Effect
ROYAL TREASURY	GOLD	Cashing the King during a Golden chain hides part of the payout in a future TREASURY row: pop it to collect.
ROYAL THROW	BOOMERANG	The boomerang flies THROUGH the King on the way out, raising his Crown. At Lv2 the return trip cashes it in.
STANDING OVATION+	ENCORE HEAD	Cash in a big King and the crowd demands an ENCORE sequence, even after a small chain.
TAX COLLECTOR	HARVESTER	A harvest is taxed: the nearest King on screen gets +1 Crown for every normal the Harvester cashes (max 8).

ROYAL TREASURY: The treasury row always holds a Gold mole.
ROYAL THROW: The royal return pays the Crown out a second time at half value.
STANDING OVATION+: Every Encore of the ovation is Golden, plus one curtain-call Encore.
TAX COLLECTOR: Tax Day: a King holding 12+ Crown cashes it in on the spot.

A special mole takes one of your 4 mole slots; once owned it starts appearing among the normal moles.
At Level 2 you choose its final form: GREEDY KING or GENEROUS KING, or one of its 4 chemistry recipes.
Its BONKs count as the GOLD family.
It is in the base pool: it can be offered from your first run.
