About half the enemies were elementals (they even had elemental weaknesses/resistances), and one of the enemies (the "bomb" enemy) had a high chance of exploding (and dealing a significant amount of damage) when killed (ideally you'd use long-range attacks to kill him).

A floating, unanimated 1cm by 1cm cube. With a completely transparent texture. How do you see it? It has an effect attached to it, so it resembles a floating ball of burning fire, or a miniature star, or a whisp of smoke....etc. Element-related attacks.
Perhaps it would be better to have it about as large as the effect but still with a transparent texture, so that it's easier to hit it. Who would be able to hit a 1cmX1cm cube in the middle of a small blizzard, anyway?

He means the bombs, flans, etc.
The difference between that and what I had in mind is visual. I was talking about essentially a floating, playable effect (which is dymanic and can flash or bang or sizzle or whatever) attached to an invisible collision box.

Out of that list, I've done Giants, Tiny people, Plants and insects.
