Do you need any objects for the tropical level?

I've thought that polar bear be like the hippo I've described earlier,
it drops from the sky and bounces around (has any of you player
Jeff Minter games? :)) i.e. physics engine would do almost all the
work.  Or do you have different ideas?

I'll do add the penguin and try to think something for the death
animation.  Has anybody of you on the list preferences (+reason)
for what the penguin death would look like:
- penguin breaks apart like blocks
- penguin falls on its face or back
- penguin vanishes in a puff of smoke or fire
- the penguin head shoots up and blood spurts up from the neck stump
  while the body convulses wildly around
- penguin gets white mini-wings and flies up to heaven
- penguin freezes (gets a block of ice around itself)

Do you need any images of object throught which player would fly?

That would definately be appreciated!
