Having to press S^ twice in quick succession would probably be a real pain, especially for new players.
Hasn't the double-tap entered the VG collective-unconsciousness yet? |

There is one major flaw to his move list... You can't hold the jetpack and the cape at the same time!!!
Also, his double-jump could be his jetpack. Just like it is in the game when you have it. It would work just the same, just it wouldn't have as much fuel-per-jump as it does in the game and it also wouldn't burn enemies. Which is just like in the game!
And then the triple-jump would be his rope. How we all want it!
He should also be able to grab onto walls, like in the game, as if he had the climbers gloves..
Also... Double-jump + triple-jump + cape + wall grab = epically overpowered recovery!

Actually I think this guy's got it. Double jump = Jetpack (hold it down rather than just a boost) ^S = Rope, throw it upwards and it does stuff. |

Woo. Yeah, "it does stuff". I don't quite know how the rope would work yet, but I'm sure that it's WORTH figuring out. |

How about holding up and double-tapping S?

Here's the thing. While a lot of the suggestions for a rope attack would work, none of them sound more intuitive or fun than the jetpack from a gameplay perspective. The only real advantage to adding a rope attack is that it is a more iconic item.
Indie Brawl's staying power will have more to do with how fun it is than how much nostalgia it induces. So I think it would be preferable to go with the less iconic, but more intuitive and fun attack.

I agree with Soulliard, the rope sounds like it will take away from the action.
I think the jetpack spiking underneath enemies would be better than damage surrounding enemies.

Ok, I took a stab at spelunky. I fused what I liked about boyd's and Godsavant's and changed the stance a little. Made the whip thinner, and reduced the outline a bit. I also wanted to see what you guys thought about the hands.  Top or bottom? |

They are both after the aforementioned changes. So I guess I should have explained myself better. Though I must say I like the bottom better. |

Nice edit. The stance looks very natural. I edited it a little more, mostly to reduce the color count (it's down to a very manageable 12).  Also, I think it would be best if he didn't have his whip out all the time. He doesn't use it for many attacks, so it will only make animation more difficult. |

Thanks! I based it on what you guys started.
Feel free to edit it or do anything you like with it (I just tweaked it a little myself).

I liked Veo's version.
Soulliard removed too many colors, made it lose its warm tonality and also gave him eyebrows of doom.
Derek version is good too though.Looks like a mouse.

I don't see this; the intermediate shade intersects where the had would dip at 45-degree angle, and the darkest indicates when the hat is perpendicular to the light source. Progressive shading is not synonymous with gradients. |
