Re: [Super-tux-devel] Super-tux ideas

[noah b. <noa...@gm...>]

you could also have a timed platform along with the harder falling platform.
it would also be nice to have some sort of teleporter, like in the superfrog clown level, there is a sucking tube that compresses superfrog and spits him out somewhere else.
supertux also needs a side kick, (as a weapon) don't you think?
some sort of a sno-cone dude that he picks up during the game to throw at enemies.
I like the idea of a side kick as an alternate character too.
one of the easier thing to add would probably be secret levels, where supertux pushes that suspicious looking wall of ice, and lo and behold, a entire secret cavern comes up.
there is this one enemy I remember from superfrog that was really cool, he was a airplane flying penguin (of course that would have to be changed) who came in and dropped magic bomb-crystals on superfrog.
another thing, the final level in superfrog is really simple.
theres the witch, with your girlfriend behind her. you are an a lower platform, the witch (think nolok) throws fireballs down, and you have to avoid them. you also cant fall from the bottom of the pit, or you will have to do the next-to-last level again. 
I really like the idea of a puzzle level... at first I was thinking sokoban, but that seems a little slow paced for supertux. what had you in mind?
