Along with the new weapons I stated about earlier, I think there should also be an ice sword. There's a fire sword, so why not have an ice sword too? ;)

It would be interesting. An ice sword that could also freeze water and other liquids maybe?

Maybe. And maybe it could damage and freeze enemies in place for a short time. ;)

Originally the fire sword started out as a puzzle item.

One of the ideas thrown around was for there to be the puzzle items:
  • fire sword (lights torches and torch switches)
  • thunder hammer (powers lightbulb switches)
  • ice crossbow (hits target switches and I guess freezes enemies for platforms)

I'll be sure to bring this back up with the team. We're redoing a large number of the sprites. So I guess this is the time to add new animations

idk if limiting to melee/range only would be that great (at least later for LD)

Recently discussed this; we came up with an alternative idea:

Intrroduce the element puzzle ideas suggested above and have a 'machine' that temporarily 'charges' equipment with an element.

That would prevent game breaking equipment and add more potential puzzles.
