<p>LOL, well I can't vouch for the SMOP part. :P<br>In my mind I was thinking more of a cartoonesque forklift, with mini forks that never extend beyond the tile border giving it a stubby look. The sound effects would be awesome though,... assuming we can get over the issue of how to record, or where to find, our own sound effects. ^^;</p>
<p><br>> All good. How about penguin moving large snowballs around?<br>> Pushing but no pulling is a physical requirement there.</p>
<p>hehe, I guess we can have that and the goal would be something like a hole in the ice the penguin is trying to cover.</p>
<p>Less realistically, we could have the penguin push fish into a bucket or igloo or something along those lines. </p>
<p>Because of the simple graphics set, we theoretically could go nuts with the ideas. :P</p>

<p>lol, funny how I always get a daily history lesson on something that previously seemd mundane. :)</p>
<p>Given the background style I proposed earlier, I was in fact wondering how I would go about it with the KSokoban theme. Most likely it would include a moon-like surface (to emulate the gray floor of the original), and the background would be that Hubble/NASA picture in its original form (or at least as much as you can fit within the small size).</p>
