A Strange Encounter

Another thing we've been working on lately is a special encounter / mini boss type of deal featuring.... a fridge! Previously, we talked about the kitchen area of the ship being a bullet hell challenge, but seeing as the boss already uses a lot of bullet hell mechanics we thought we'd spice things up a bit by doing something slightly different. 

So what you see below is a prototype of this battle, using the good old living puzzle block as a base (when it's finished it'll be an actual fridge, rest assured):

So basically, the idea here is that it jumps around in the kitchen, where some fires spring up from vents in the floor (a normal feature for every decent kitchen, right?) and your goal is to make it land on the fire as it appears, so the flames will damage it. In this first prototype, we used shockwaves as the thing that damages the player, but since it's a fridge, what we want from it is something closer to this:

Ice attacks! We're already quite satisfied with this encounter as it is right now, so all we gotta do now is give it some proper graphics.
