Ideas for powerups (positive and negative effects)

Quoting #2:

Bonuses :

• Nyan Cat : Your avatar becames a nyan cat that is invicible to al kind of deathly item
• Speed Up : Your avatar walks faster
• Controlled Bombs : you can now control when your bombs explode

Maluses :

• Skull head : Kills instantely. With the second idea, it would make a static killing bloc that cannot be destroyed, except by Nyan Cat.
• Slow down : Your avatar walks slower.
• Confusion : Keys inverted

Why not add also a "random item" that would give some random thing, good or bad ?

Idea : add a fly item : it gives wings to the player for some time, that allows him to fly over all the blocs

My own wish-list based on above suggestions:

Positive effect:

• [x] Bomb number increase, Flame length increase, Speed up, Life up
• [x] Kick bombs: player can push bombs (#11)
• [ ] Controlled bombs: player controls bombs explosion

Negative effect:

• [x] Speed down
• [x] Confusion: keys inverted (temporary)
• [ ] Bomb shortage: impossibility to drop bombs (temporary)
• [ ] Skull head: random negative effect. It could also have a small probability to kill the player instantly, or do a very cool positive effect not available via other powerups (e.g. every enemy has their bomb numbers and flame length reduced by 2).

Misc:

• [ ] Random item, good or bad

Do you have an IRC channel or do we stay on the usual one ?
