I like the idea of expanding on the types of keys/doors/teleports/etc., but I wish we could stop color-coding them. It's restrictive to artists designing new graphics.

(I don't know if anyone noticed, but my new CC2 editor avoids color-based element names as much as is realistically possible.)

How do you think keys etc should be coded? By shape or symbols? colors seems the simplest method to me; and I've never found it restrictive. Keys could have different shapes but with toggles walls and bombs it gets much trickier.

Important features while I'm thinking of it: extra bomb chips!

some other new ideas:

freeze gun is an interesting idea! The laser idea is another type of way to destroy enemies, sort of similar to the bowling ball but different.

A STOPWATCH button that stops time or in effect; pauses the game for everything else yet Chip can keep moving (and clock keeps ticking).

MAGNET BLOCKS:

(unfinished idea)

blocks which have either N on one side and S on the other; opposite poles are attracted to each other and same repel. Blocks two spaces apart draw toward each other. Another tile called (magnet wall?) which cannot be moved but attracts magnet blocks.

MAGNET

item if player picks up is attracted to a magnet wall

WIRELESS BUTTONS

buttons that function similar to black buttons but don't need wires. All must be held down to activate something. (would make making sokobans much easier).


someone else's idea from discord:

If an enemies like an ant has a "backpack" it can pick up and use items just like ghosts and rovers. Maybe same item as "magic satchel". So enemies can pick it up and use it as well.
