New tower defence tower idea - Sandman

[guardtown]

The Sandman is a tower that throws a lot of sand at enemies and hopes it hits. It is powerful in numbers, but by itself it is only good for mobs on 1-7 hp.

Cool idea, and maybe add a few buttons to the tower to make it look a little better.

Your design looks really weird. Adding stairs and slabs to a box doesnt instantly make it look awesome. Also the choice of just having Sand and Red Sand is weird, have other blocks other than make that makes it actually look like a tower and not some flimsy thing that is horrible to look at. I am sure the builders can do an excellent job at this though.

Also the slowness should be completely removed. In tower defense you have to be strategic and know where to place towers. We have a ice tower for a reason having like 10 of these on one pathway can render that tower useless, combining this with the slowness of the Ice Tower would be a great combination.

thanks for the feedback, I'll work on having a bigger variety of blocks on my next tower.
It does take 1145 for it to have a chance at slowing, and 11450 for it to slow almost everytime, however.

It seems like a good idea, though I think it'll be better to come up with a more different thing than sand.
