Ooh... with the yellow "neutral" bonuses, I am liking the "bad" being 
red a bit more. (Oh, and the phoenix and teleport are beautiful!)

Wasn't skate a "bad" bonus? If yes, that would be conveniently make the 
number of "good" and "bad" equal :-).

I'm not too sure about it either :-). Remind me, the arrows move bombs 
placed on them? If yes, maybe bomb_trap should have a similar look, 
maybe a circle, or arrows pointing in all directions.

Speaking of wormux...

...this sounds exactly like the bazooka (or more accurately, grenades)

Looked fine to me. I don't think a single stick would look as good. A 
tube of nitroglycerine might look really good, but IMHO the current 
graphic is fine.

Thinking about how you make a test tube look like nitro, I thought to 
put an explosion graphic behind it, then realized you could do the same 
with the current TNT. I'm not sure it's needed though, and it wouldn't 
really match the style of the other icons.
