Symmetrical objects (items etc.) Four-way: + = 0 Horizontal: * ! " _ ^ Vertical: ( ) [ ] { } \| Diagonal: / $ % \\ ` ~ (Huh. Backslash is getting translated to two backslashes!) Symmetrical creatures Four-way: H I O o X x (I with serif) Horizontal: A M T U V W w : ' Vertical: B C c D E K Y 3 Diagonal: N S s Z z Seems like most of the game has some axis of symmetry :P Now for votes: which set of symmetrical symbols is scarier: objects or creatures?

Hm, I was gonna say creatures, but water still always scares me a little. And wands in the hands of creatures can be very scary.

Well, Sorceror, thanks for this detailed analysis :P, but I didn't have a difference between objects and creatures in mind. It was just the sheer symmetrical beauty of the colon. Last edited: Fri, 13 Aug 2010 10:13:34

Seems ladder is better than symmetry.

I'd be inclined to say that : has vertical symmetry as well, not just horizontal symmetry.
#7	Anonymous	Fri, 13 Aug 2010 16:53:07
And rotational symmetry!

PRIME NUMBERS!

Kiwi13cubed, yeah, I should have moved it to a different row. I guess I was thinking it's punctuation but it's the size of a lower-case letter ...

: has vertical, horizontal, and rotational symmetry.
