Hey guys, I played Toblo for a while yesterday, and it was
outstandingly fun. I have a couple suggestions for mods, or changes to
the actual game that could make the game even more fun.

My suggestions sort of all evolved from this "problem:" the easiest,
and most effective way to get through someone's walls, or to collapse
a tower, is just to spam right click and pick up the blocks in your
way. Of course nothing is actually wrong with this, but I think the
tactical use of the bomb blocks and regular throwing blocks suffer
because of this.

So, here are a couple changes that IMO would result in a higher level
of tactics.
Okay, so there are red blocks, blue blocks, and then the other colored
blocks in the game. My idea would be that you can only pick up blocks
of your own color. This means enemy players can just rip up your base
as easily as they can now. However if you pick up a block of your own
color and throw it, it becomes a neutral box that can be picked up by
the other team.

If this was the only change made, it would mean that the only
practical way to break holes in the other teams base is with the bomb
blocks. The bomb blocks should be the best way to do this, but they
shouldn't be the only way.

My second change would be to give the blocks more mass, and have the
mass dependent on size.
The idea is that thrown blocks should do MUCH more damage against
enemy structures than they do now. The speed of blocks when thrown
would depend on mass, so smaller blocks would be thrown faster, but do
less damage against a wall, while larger blocks would move slower, but
crunch through structures.

It would also be cool if players had more mass. Imagine how awesome it
would be to knock out a player and have them go sliding into something
and knock it down.


My last idea is for a level: the two bases would be relatively close
to each other, but surrounded by lava/whatever that prevents anyone
from walking on it. A winding path connects the two bases. Clever
players would be able to build a bridge between the two bases by
throwing blocks and walking on them.

So, those are my ideas. comments, questions, concerns?

Those are actually some pretty cool ideas.
