"Eyeball Tears" nearly ended my streak...

Not sure if this is a side effect of the new eyeball tears on their own, or of a synergy I had. I also had chocolate milk, spectral tears, lump of coal, homing, and piercing.

But, basically my tears kept filling up the screen and not hitting any enemies, preventing me from doing much damage. I actually couldn't kill blue baby because the tears would float for a while, getting larger due to lump of coal, and sort of stick to enemies but not go away or do damage. Eventually the entire room was filled with giant tears and I essentially couldn't shoot anymore, let alone hit the boss/enemies. Fortunately I had a teleport card on me and used that to get out and pick up a Dr Fetus that was in one of the golden chests at the beginning of The Chest.

I normally hate using Dr Fetus, but compared to that nightmare eyeball nonsense it was paradise.

I'm guessing the issue had something to do with the piercing and lump of coal? Due to piercing, the tears never really "hit" anything so they just kind of sit there, and the homing may have made the tears stick to Blue Baby and prevent any more tears from hitting. And again, the tear that stuck to the boss wasnt damaging it (it wasnt like a ludo tear, in that sense).

So yeah. Watch out for that combo, I guess.
