Giving every consumable its own thrown sprite is exactly the kind of detail players may only consciously notice once, but it makes the whole system feel authored instead of generic. Also: weaponized pizza is important representation. πŸ˜‚

One sprite per consumable is more art than it looks. The alternative, tinting a single sprite, reads fine in a list and falls apart the moment two of them sit next to each other on screen.
