 That's a good idea, but I think I would prefer the behavior i described: 
enemies in a short range would be killed and Tux would get stuck with the ass 
in the ground for a couple of seconds (there has to be a cons, right?).

 That could be hard to implement. I suggest to make them just immune to it.

 That's just too much to ask...

 Tobias, do you agree with this transition?
 If yes, what would be better: resizing images (we would have to resize 
without interpolation and then polish them) or just enlarge the visible area?

 I don't see how we will be able to make it. i mean that would require some 
sort of scripting.

 Oh, i forgot that. Maybe we could implement that in time for the next 
release.
