Add Power Ups

[AbhinandanKainth]

we can add dropping power-ups which may slow the pace of the game for some time. Or some objects which can fasten up the pace.

Awesome idea! Let's see how it goes, if it's good, we'll make a game mode out of it. Would you like to take this up?

[AbhinandanKainth]

Yeah sure.

@kainthcool I'll assign it to you, see if it's easier making a separate branch or if you can do all the changes to make it as a game mode

From #52 quoting @amrit-choudhary

Buy upgrades to enhance your cart. Upgrades can include:

Better speed
Better size
Magnet effect (coins are pulled towards the cart)
Health (will take more bomb hits to die)

[amrit-choudhary]

Upgrade the cart is a permanent thing.
Powerups are temporary, which are active for a short while during gameplay.

@amrit-choudhary don't you think that would just make it 'unfair' later on? In the sense, each time one plays and with a possible goal of scoring as high as possible, then what you're suggesting destroys the incentive of scoring high 'fairly'. Instead of a permanent change, let it be a power-up. What do you think?

[amrit-choudhary]

Powerups and upgrades, both can be a thing. Just see any mobile game. Both serve a different purpose. Powerups are more fun and action oriented. Upgrades have the benefit of giving you some progress every time.

@amrit-choudhary I suppose another game mode with this 'upgrade' progress could do instead of having it in say 'Classic' mode?
