Gingerbread fortresses

Instead of building quaint little gingerbread houses, we have fortresses.

E's fortress

• Licorice missilles- people seeking missiles that zap an enemy when it hits them
• Skittles bombs- are flying bombs that hit things and blow them up.
• Marshmellow sensors- sense an enemy and alert the poison dispensers inside the fort.
• Tree nets- are net throwers that fly nets and wrap around the enemy.
• Tootsie logs- sense an enemy and roll on the enemy and crush him
• Wafer wheel- make scary faces and scare the enemy
• Roof rampage- throw the roof on the enemy quick
  

Creator comments: I like my fortress because I really like houses. If somebody comes inside, it protects them. If their enemy came near it would shoot them with a licorice missile and it would hit them with skittle bombs.

O's Fortress

• Coffee trees-- spray piping hot coffee at intruders
• Candy cane careful climbing objects-- person has to jump over them because if they try to go through them a doordoor comes down from the top and traps them in
• Whopper Boulders-- when they sense motion, they roll onto the path to try to crush a person; after they crush the person, they roll back into place
• Flame Rod--has to be dodged so it won't burn the feet
• Love spikes-- make intruder trip and fall onto M&M bomb
• M&M bomb-- blow up as someone passes
• Chocolate missile kisses-- shoot up and hit their target
• Little smackers-- chocolate morsels which can only turn twice to follow a person, after that they self-destruct
• Ooey-gooey wall-- if a person tries to get through, they get stuck
• Heat sensor boom flame rods-- shoot up fire balls that follow an enemy until he's eliminated; when eliminated, the fire retracts
• Junk walls-- (2) move so as to meet and crush the enemy in between them
• Gotcha good graham walls-- fall and activate M&M bombs
• Demolition detonator
  

How to defeat the fortress

1. avoid all the pitfalls
   
2. move quickly
   
3. prize at end, eat the fortress
