Exactly ;-).

Okay. So I guess we have a problem now because multiple bombs going off 
at once can blow up bonuses revealed by the same blast? That certainly 
shouldn't happen, but it sounds like you already know about it and 
intend to fix it. I suppose making them "invincible" in the mean time is 
okay. But ultimately I like the behavior described in your previous 
paragraph :-).

Argh, that gives me another idea. Not sure if this should be a 'bad 
bonus' or just an all-the-time thing, but have you thought at all about 
'dud' bombs? Basically they fail to explode on their own and become 
impassible (but you can kick them). They blow up if another explosion 
touches them.

And... ooh, this is evil, what about walls that contain bombs that go 
off when you blow the wall? Maybe that /would/ be too evil, at least if 
you don't mark them. I can see a player doing this:

█☺█
☢▒
█ █

...and not knowing that the block (▒) has a bomb inside... Ouch.

Well, that's what I get for not checking... but I knew "bonus_" wasn't 
right ;-).

The new ice is... amazing. Wow :-).

The mortar... well, it's also amazing, but it doesn't look like a tile 
:-). Maybe it works in practice, but I'm not sure about the non-top-down 
perspective. (It would make a fabulous bonus, though...) Though I'm also 
wondering how much it should look like something you could walk over.

*Exactly* what I was thinking :-D.
