    Nope.

    Well actually last night, someone gave me a very good idea for a name, but I'm not sure if it's right, what do you guys think of Xeno? I just thought of a funny one right now. Bazooka Joe! So what do you guys like better, Xeno or Bazooka Joe? Let me know! Hey that rhymes! Cool. Maybe I should start a poll. Anybody here know how to do that?

    Oops!!!!!!!!!

    I just googled Bazooka Joe and realized he's already a gum character! I guess no one decided to give him a bazooka and let him blow everything up in a platformer for iPhone! lol

    You want a mario-esque platformer without it being mario? here's my idea. Instead of having him be a plumber - why not a janitor. its similar enough, but at the same time quite different. and instead of italian, why not French? or Spanish?
    Instead of the "mushroom Kingdom" why not have him jumping through paintings in a museum he has to clean - or TV shows. that'd be kinda neat. and the main villain - He could be a dragon from a painting that people stopped looking at - and is trying to take over the other ones because he wants attention or something. And the princess could just be said hero's girlfriend - or, say, the princess from a painting in another room.

    Actually, we've decided to make him a repairman or mechanic or maybe handyman. I'd like to give you guys further details, but let's let some things just be kept secret. For now. ;) Vaelsh knows what I'm talking about. And Xeno (We're going to call him that for now.) is not going to be Italian or Spanish or French, just your average, ordinary American repairman /mechanic/handyman. So Demonskunk, are you going to enter the contest? Your ideas put into a video game........ think about it! SO IS EVERYBODY EXCITED FOR XENO THE HANDYMAN? I KNOW I AM!

    Yep!

    Unlimited entries my man! I'm going to go add that to the rules. Also, you don't have to do one in those categories, that's just a starting point. Go wild and crazy! Let your imagination off its leash and show me what you got! lol

    Well..............

    Well the reason for Xeno is that Vaelsh, who is helping me with my site and this game, suggested it, and I don't think it's half bad. I think that it's more of a futuristic name rather than a pure, fun name, but at the moment, I can't think of anything better. If you can think of anything better or more fun like Mario, let me know, because then I will make that the new name. For now though, it's Xeno the Handyman.

    Ehh..........

    That's a little too fun, I know, too fun sounds impossible, but it is. Jimbo just doesn't fit it, but it's okay. Try again! lol

    Awesome!

    Wow! I am seriously impressed! Do you have any others? Would love to see what you could do with the monster enemies. We need some of those. Loving the hat! Loving it! Not so fond of the character, but it's not bad! Maybe you could go in a different direction with him. I like the short hair best, just not the character, but he's not bad. He just needs work. The hat was the best. THEE BEST! lol!

    Omg!

    Instead of an I've got wood t-shirt you should make a shirt that reads "Got tools?" I love the hat! You should make the shirt and hat really creative. I also like the drawing of the guy that you liked best. I think you could draw some really cool monster enemies!

    Here's a couple more ideas o3o Since he's a carpenter, I figure some termitey bugs might be fun. the standing one might fly in one place, or move up and down while flying, and get all zappy every few seconds or so so they're not so easy to kill - with a non-zappy one too. maybe a color difference to tell them apart.

    and the little buggy one'd be your basic "crush me for points" enemy, that you'd get laughed at for getting killed by o3o

    oh, and Growler :3 could be a final boss o3o gonna doodle some rat enemies now, kthx

    If we're gonna try to go with a lumberjack theme this would be an idea for an enemy, someone could draw it better than me, but they could use this as a a base
