Cool.  But there is a problem with the bonuses: the ones that have
timeout ("Shield", "Bullet time") don't show anywhere how soon will
they end (or did I miss it somewhere?).  I can't effectively use them
to go into the midst of action (and I use Turbo with both to get the
most of them) if I'll almost surely die when it suddenly ends.  The
ought to be some timeout progress bar or something for the bonus, and
it ought to be *very* visible.
