Required

Models

• Replace fuel generator with a ceiling tube / conveyor belt thing

Possible

Ideas that we're not 100% sure if they will be added.

• If a thrown object hits another player, it will come back towards the thrower
  • If they miss, the object will fall on the ground and not come back
• Minimum throw strength value

Small Improvements

Smaller features that would be nice to have, but are not required.

• Color the throw power meters based on player color (if the players end up being different colors)

Extras

Ideas that are completely conceptual and need further brainstorming.

• Breakable walls
• Throw fuel into walls to make them move
• Moving furnaces (Goal point)
• Fuel decays over time
