I really like this idea and I haven't seen anyone else use it even after The Spitemaster and I released Expert's challenge, or after I released Proximity Mines. So, I decided to make a new, better hold based on them.
Enjoy!

Note: It only has 1 level so far, but I am still working on it.

I enjoyed playing the original Proximity Mines, so I guess I'll play this too.

Alright, I finished. Here's what I have to say:

First of all, the one main problem with your proximity mines is that I can safely set them off if a monster is occupying the square your character is set to appear in. Placing eight around the bomb will help this, but won't cure it.

You can work around this by making the character be visible next to the bomb and having it rotate. The problem with this is that the character will then take up space on the game board.

Here's a link to Experts Challenge and Proximity Mines 1. Proximity Mines is near the bottom.

Keep posting,

Here's a demo for what Chaco found. I haven't been able to do that with any other mines though.

EDIT: Sorry for the double post...

EDIT2: 500th post!

Suggestion: Feature, Not Bug Mode.

IE, put down a differently colored square where the character is. Sorta like 'putting the pin back into the grenade'.

The best idea so far is to put 8 down. I could put 2 bombs down, increase the radius, and have the character on one of the bombs. Then it couldn't be blocked by a monster (or Beethro in a monster set-off mine area). It would take a genius to do monsters on all 8.

I never knew this existed. It's what I'm doing for Community Project level.
