I want a bomb that implodes instead of exploding. Pretty much a mix of Vortexes and Nitronomes. Here's the stats and stuff:
-Visually, it'd be a Nitronome with the color scheme changed to purple instead of blue.
-You won't run slower while charging it, like the current Vortexes cause.
-Still does normal damage, like the Nitronome, but a bit less of it. Like the damage tradeoff from inflicting a status, maybe.
-Knockback is now "knockforward", sending things just as hard in the opposite direction. (clearly, you don't actually have to code it to be some whole new catagory of knockback)
-edit: Oh, and the radius of the Nitronome. Important detail to remember.
It's safer than the vortex bombs, but it gives up some damage and effectiveness to achieve that safety. There won't be anything to hold enemies in place once they're there, and it won't center things very well if there's not enough enemies hit by the blast for them to run into.
Okay, that's about it. Let the criticism commence!
The slow movement speed, lower damage, and smaller radius justify the suction effect. Normal damage and removing the knockback from the explosion is more than enough.
