Boulder Tower Defense: Need Tower Ideas

I am making a game, Boulder Tower Defense, but am stuck on tower ideas. The towers are somewhat “ice”-themed. For example. The only one I have thought of is a penguin that fires snowballs to wear down the boulders (I know physics does not agree!). But I need 3 more ideas. Does anyone have any ideas. Thanks so much!

More info on the game is that boulders have layers, so a large boulder breaks down into a smaller one until it is destroyed.

Some sort of ice hammer which cracks open the boulder, you could call it Thor's Hammer or something?

A banana throwing tower, and that tower should be the strongest.

Actually, the physics do agree. When water becomes ice, it expands. So, if water gets trapped in a crack, and freezes, the crack can widen. Doing anything major, though, will take quite a bit of time. Still, it's something.

Anyway, back to the ideas. So you need some towers that are ice-themed? Here are a few:

  • Polar Bear Traps
  • Liquid Nitrogen Tower. It's nice to freeze and slow down enemies, and has a nice little scientific touch to it.
  • Icicle Needler. This tower shoots a rapid succession of icicles.
  • Ice Clock. Every few seconds, this tower slows down time everywhere, but not for your towers. Upgrades include an increased period of freezing.
  • Avalanche. It's meant as more of a super power that can only be used rarely, but is really nice for you.

Ideas,

ErnieParke
