Ice

Ice is very slippery. Once Rich steps on it he will continue to slide until the ice ends or he hits something. Spiders, Bug-Eyes, and Robots can all walk safely on ice, without sliding. One way to use ice is to do away with monsters. If you are more than two spaces away from a monster, and there is ice all the way in between you and the monster, simply step on to the ice and use the monster as a way of stopping the slide. You will flatten him at the same time!

Sometimes ice is thin, and when you slide across it, it becomes cracked ice. Unfortunately there is no way to tell when ice is thin, and you can only slide across thin ice once, so sometimes you have to take your chances.

Once ice is cracked, it will look like the image above. When you step on it, it will now open up and you will sink! It is useful, however, to lure monsters onto cracked ice. Spiders are smart enough to avoid lava, pits, and water, but they are not smart enough to avoid cracked ice. Putting a box on a piece of cracked ice will create a bridge that you can walk across.
