Enemies
-Vamsel/Dampire
Looks like a damsel until you come within her radius of _?  Then she becomes a female vampire

-Bears
Well we should have more enemies and.... its a cave isn't it?  They should run fast when they see you, like cavemen.

-Monkey King
It would be cool to have one.... besides, there is a yeti king, mummy king, alien king, and cultist/cavemen king....  and he should throw pots and rock and skulls and stuff

-Alligators
There should be more than just fish in the waters....  they should stay on the bottom of pools of water and swim up when you are near.

-Purple Frog
In MGG's version these are very explosive.  The time it takes for them to explode should be longer but exploding radius should stay the same.

-Green Frog
These are just like like normal frogs except they are poisonous!  They should do 2 touch damage.

-Giant Octopus
More sea creatures!  He should squirt black ink at you and move very slowly.  If you get hit by the black ink, the whole screen should go black for a few seconds.  2 touch damage.

-Thieves
There should be more than just monkeys that mug you!  The items that they steal are only re-obtainable by killing them.  And plus, we need morer humanoid enemies.

-Red Ghost
Replaces normal ghost on Restless Dead levels when you pick up the crystal skull.  Takes all your items on contact and dissappears.  Turns all dead bodies into gold.  Moves much faster than normal ghost

-Restless Undead Jaws
Same as normal Jaws except only comes up in restless dead and rushing water levels when they happen in one level.  When he is damaged, bones fall off and turn into smaller piranhas.

-Poisonous Spider
Same as normal spider except it does 2 touch damage.

-Poisonous Snake
Same as normal snake except it does 2 touch damage.

-Guard(ian)
Only in Area 4 on level 15.  Guards the last door with the weapon.  Has 8HP and does 2 damage and 1 touch damage.

-Soldier
I felt like we needed more humans.  Holds a pistol or rifle and stays still.

-Warrior
Another human!  These hold weapons and have 4HP.  Do 1 touch damage.

-Kid
Substitutes shopkeeper sometimes.  Says "Sorry, the shopkeeper is sick today, how may I help you?" when you enter the shop, "Hey! come back here!" when you rob, and "How dare you!" when you vandalize.  Weilds a pistol.

-Wife
Same as above except she weilds a machine gun.

-Civillian
C'mon!  They have this in every game!  Although it IS a cave, there should be people living in it!  They don't do anything... that is... until you kill _ (3) of them.  They can turn into vampires or werewolves if they collide with them.  Have 4 health

-Werewolf
They have 6 health.  Does 2 touch damage and can turn civillians into werewolves



Weapons
-Knife
There are only machetes, there should be normal knives.  Ones that you can stab with.  2-4 damage?

-Throwing knives
Come in packages of 3.  2-4 damage?

-Flaming arrows
Aww.... come on!  There are bomb arrows so why not?  These should do normal damage but should also burn them.  But if you hold onto them while charging for too long, it should burn you.  I have no idea how to get arrows to flame though.  Flares maybe?

-Bomb Rope
Rope except you have to press "A" when you are holding it and have sticky bombs.  Explodes on contact with anything or when timer goes off.

-Club
All cavemen should hold a club.  When you kill or stun one, he should drop it.  Does 2 damage.

-Poison Arrow
You have to be holding a bow or arrow when you touch the blood of a poisonous monster to get these.  Does 2 more damage than the normal arrow.

-Stick
Just a normal stick.  Why wouldn't you find one of these in a cave?  Does 2 damage but has specialties.  When touched with flare, turns into a torch, and when touched with mattock head, turns into a normal mattock.

-Ball
If you make up for the 16 points you lost for Kali, the ball and chain falls off and breaks,  you can throw the ball around as a toy or as a weapon.  Does 2 damage.

-Chain
Same as above.  Works like a whip but does 2 damage.

-Mace
Can be bought in shops or made.  Just bring a stick to a ball and a chain and VOILA!  Does 3-4 damage and swings like an ax.

-Slingshot
How much more primitive can you get?  Picks up rocks like bows pick up arrows and charges and shoots like a bow.  Does 2 damage.



Items
-Hat
There's a topic about this somewhere.  Spelunker should be able to throw his hat!  It should disable some traps.

-Flashlight
Come on!  Every spelunker in the world has one of these when they go spelunking!  IT should have 3 batteries, each of which last for only 10 seconds.  Batteries can be bought or found.  Flashlight only provides a straight beam of light through the whole screen.  This should be part of the C scroll with bombs and ropes.  If you press X while you are holding it, you turn it on/off.

-Candle
Okay then, if we use some of the other light suggestions, we won't need this.  One candle lasts for about 15 second and provides only a small circle of light, but bigger than without any light source.  You can throw candles but they keep burning and eventually die out even when they are not in your possession.

-Headlight
This is one of those helmets that cave explorers wear.  Spelunker should either have this from the start or be able to find it and wear it.  There should be a shortcut button for this.  This headlight runs on batteries too, like the flashlight, and uses them up at 1 battery per 10 seconds.  It also provides a straight beam across the whole screen, but a little above the flashlight, so you could use both at the same time productively.

-Torch
Possible only when a stick is brought to a flare.  A torch never runs out and you could carry it to levels.  It provied the same light as a flare and you can swing it like an ax.

-Batteries
Come in packages of 3 only.  Each last for only 10 seconds.  Are sold in shops and can be found in crates.

-Fire
Fire, it's a big topic and very hard to make.  There's lava, so why not fire?  It should burn you and damage you by 2 HP.  Magma men can survive in fire without taking damage.




Collectibles
-Jordans
The sprite's already there so why not?  I mean just put it in the game!
But these should be extra rare and expensive.

-Sneakers
Make you run extra fast!

-Fireproof Suit
Makes you immune to magma men, heat panels, fireball traps, flamethrower traps, and the edges of explosions.

-Night Vision Goggles
Help you see the whole screen on dark levels.  Everything looks greenish.

-Bulletproof Vest
Make you immune to __ damage worth of bullets.  Then it dissappears.

-Health Kit
Heals you by 2 HP.  Can be bought in stores or found, but very rare in crates.

-Fins
Help you swim faster.  You can swim downwards by pressing down+jump.

-Rope Crate
There are bomb crates so why not?  These hold 12 ropes.

-Ninja Suit
VERY rare and expensive.  If you acquire one, it is equivalent to getting climbing gloves, spring boots, and sneakers at once.

-Arrow Bag
Bag of 3 arrows.

-Arrow Crate
Crate of 12 arrows.

-Lava Suit
Makes you able to swin in lava,  you can see the black silhouette.  Makes you immune to magma men.  Very rare and expensive.



Traps
-Acid
Oh we talked about this a LOT.  Things sink faster, vaporize, and no acid men.

-Laser traps
Arrow traps except they shoot lasers at you.  2-3 damage?

-Ground spikes
Looks a little different from a normal block except spears you when you stay on it for too long.

-Fireball traps
From MGG's version, arrow traps that shoot fireballs.

-Gun traps
Arrow traps that shoot bullets at you.... There should be a flamethrower trap too.

-Flamethrower Trap
Shoots flames at you.  Does 2 damage.  Doesn't affect magma men.  Lights bombs and burns ropes.

-Goo
Puddles of sticky stuff.  If you step in it, you get slowed down for __ steps.  Acts like web for other enemies.

-Heat Panel
Panels on the floor that heat up and eventually burn you.  Does 2 damage.

-Thwomp
Spike blocks that move down quickly and then slowly recharge going up.  Instant kill.



Mod
-Gun mod should be added
-Potion mod should be added
-Basketball (Minigame)
-Evil (Mingame)
-De Bomb (Minigame)
-Reverse Color (Minigame)





I am going to revise and update this often!

Poisonous Spider, poisonous snake, club, poison arrow, fireproof suit, night vision goggles, bullet proof vest, flamethrower trap, goo, and heat panel were added

[PureQuestion]

The code for Jordan's is in the game. You can give them to yourself in debug mode. They make you jump about 6 tiles high.

[marsgreekgod]

some are kinda intersting... some are kinda pointless.

[gummybears123]

Which are pointless?

[marsgreekgod]

Bears - why? whats the point?

-Monkey King - area 2 has lots of bosses, a gaint monkey seems kinda odd to fight.

Giant Octopus - we already have a underwater boss.

Red Ghost - Thats still NICER then the normal ghost. unless he takes your whip

Flaming arrows- do to... what?

[gummybears123]

Bears- There should be more enemies in the first area
MK- I just thought it would be kinda cool
GO- We only have 1, there are 2 in the third area...
RG- How about if its faster?
FA- IT just seems cool

[marsgreekgod]

We have 1 underwater boss and one over land boss (vampire)
mabey with the red ghost.
... ...

[gummybears123]

Oh!  Red ghost comes out only in restless dead levels!  When you get the skull!

[marsgreekgod]

Ok then, thats a much better idea. as long as the real ghost still comes

[PureQuestion]

I think area type overlaps should have unique things in them. Rushing water+Restless dead should have an undead jaws, for example.

[marsgreekgod]

darkness restless dead rushing water?

wet fir  + physic?

prayers + ... nothing?

[gummybears123]

I added undead jaws

[marsgreekgod]

undead jaws would only be cool if he spits acid or something

[Sudonimus]

Or maybe bones break off of him
and turn into little piranhas.

[marsgreekgod]

that would also work
