That works. I'll set it to design review.

It's better but I would still suggest some kind of trim on the ceiling and maybe some pillars along the walls to give some interesting architectural elements to the room.

The dark walls of the main rooms with the fire traps feel blank. It could stand to have a pass done on them.

We actually just took a candy cane sword and I know we had a few others a few months back. It's not a bad execution at all but we simply have so many swords that repeat designs happen and are too similar to take more. I would suggest changing the colors maybe so that it feels different? Light green with dark green possibly. Something like that. We just need to make sure we don't have too many of similar sword designs or colors.

Note from up top There may be an issue here since it's basically just a brown face. It's not that I have issue with this or anyone in particulate does. But once we put something like this in a public facing game, it opens us up to interpretation and as far fetched as it may seem, it could be offensive to some people, it's simply something we have to be overly cautious of when making a video game. What you could do is remove the skin color factor all together and make a beard with the candy cane and googly eyes and that's it so when a player wears it, they simply have those elements on their face. I know it's a strange issue to have, but welcome to video game development.

Note from up top for ref: The concept is fine but I feel like the colors need a bit of adjusting. I would suggest sticking to pastel colors like sweet tarts or smarties for lighter solids. http://media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/236x/3a/05/54/3a0554b1459591364302691770792759.jpg If you want to have solids like a candy cane or a hard candy like a ribbon candy or something, then darker more saturated colors work well (for example, the green of your hammer would be darker and have less yellow) then I would add the metal material type to it to give it a shiny candy like surface. If you want a gummy type surface, Then the darker more saturated colors work again but you will want to use the glass material type. The piece in concept is fine, just feel like the colors and material types could be pushed more.

I like the concept but I feel the handle is a bit basic since it's the same design as the blade. It may be nice to have something complimentary making up the handle. Maybe a slightly different handle design with green candy cane instead of red? Just something to keep it from looking like one solid piece.
