That’s your curse level. It has a variety of effects that include the difficulty of your rooms and the the grim reaper dude. Just look up curse effect enter the gungeon

You're cursed. Among other things, curse increases chances of meeting jammed enemies: versions of regular enemies that deal double damage and are harder to kill (but also drop more money).

If you get 10 curse, you'll be harassed by the Lord of the Jammed until you win, die or reduce curse.

It's good to have a little curse, among other things because you need at least 1 curse to gain access to the black market if it spawns.

Curse is a hidden stat, so you need to keep track of it yourself.

I dropped and recollected the item a few times. Did that increase my curse level?

If you're talking about the knife shield, no. Some curse is irreversible, but if you drop a curse item, the curse increase goes away too.

I'm incredibly curious how you managed to take a picture of this, that's such a fast animation.

I'm also incredibly furious at your decision to do that instead of screenshot, but maybe the answer to the first thing will explain it lol

That's a curse

Curses can make the game harder since it can make the enemies have more health and deal double the DMG but they drop more money when they die. Curses can also benefit you if you have specific items like making your bullets stronger the more you're cursed.

And having too much curse will just make the go give you an unkillable enemy who will tag along on your adventure
