Probably not "hard" ... a lot of stuff currently assumes you spend most 
the game underwater and can breathe both there and on land, but there is 
already code for handling places where Naija leaves the water...which is 
not currently the exact mechanic you're looking for...there is gravity, 
but no "walking" ... she sticks to whatever she lands on until she jumps 
again. Despite that, the code already understands a distinction for dry 
land.

They're in plain sight...if you have the Mac version, right click the 
game icon and select "Show Package Contents" to see the game data 
inside. Other platforms just have the data sitting in the same directory 
as the executable.
