Costumes

Characteristics of each costume
Drill: multiplies current mining speed by 5 but divides mining power by 3. ABILITY: is to summon a large drill that goes across the screen and mines ores. Drills are good for single-target ores like black pearls or seal stones

Big hand: Damages all ores within a 5x5 area of the target. ABILITY: summon a clone that stays in its current position and continuously mines whatever the player was mining earlier for a set period of time. Good for multiple targets like life stones clumped up together and the trial of speed if you can't one-shot everything yet.

Golden: gives you a 2% chance that when you mine something you will get 3,000% (times 30) money from it. Ability: every ore in the mine has its max health reduced.

Hammer: doubles your hp (also doubles time for trial of speed) in dungeons and halves dungeon fee (for ex: 10 is 5). ABILITY: (Found out by NifyDavin, aka, Asriel in discord) You swing a hammer around you, doing damage in collison of ores. Good if you're getting hit a lot by a certain boss,

Sniper: greatly increases mining range. ABILITY: summons a rain of arrows and damages everything on the screen. You can practically hit the life stones of the boss from across the screen, but note that you can't move while mining/attacking.

Shield: A shield follow you, which blocks enemies and mines minerals. ABILITY: summons a shield that will ricochet off of minerals and mine them.

Ninja: Movement speed and mining range are greatly increased. You can move while mining. ''ABILITY: Summons a shadow clone to mine minerals with you. Allows for your shadow clone to be spawned inside of boss rooms.''

Prisoner Costume: Item effects are limited. Don't use this

What are costumes good at?
Drill costume is the best general costume IF your speed is high enough, Hammer costume is best for saving money on dungeons and beating bosses, Golden costume is best for grinding money. Shield costume is good for some bosses, Sniper costume is good for range, especially on bosses that summon enemys and Ninja costume can help on bosses or mine movement. Big Hand costume helps mine clusters of ores, including Life and Soul Crystals, groups of ok ores, and helps with the speed trials, as it hits more than one layer. Prisoner just gives you the option to torture yourself. Ninja costume is arguably the BEST costume to fight bosses due to the large mining range, ability to move while mining so you can dodge, and the ultimate which allows you to summon your shadow clone to fight with you.

Seasonal Costumes
So far, I only know of the Summer Costume and the santa costume, the summer costume slightly increases range, like the Sniper costume. You can only get it during summer. The santa costume does an area of effect mine when you hit snow.
