in the gijoe game the water is a normal panel and the sprtes of the chars are cut....with this medot i can't do the water effect in the middle of level
in the punisher game for example there a level with the water like i want to do but maybe i can to that only at the star of the stage
if you want wolverine to have his feet look like they are in water there may be a way with a custom shadow and some kind of script to display it in front of the players z range. Sorry I dont know if this is possible its just a pasing thought.
another option could be a npc that follows the hero about or a spawnbinded entity (but that will be stuck to the feet during jump)
i liked the stage but i think we will need a new set of enemies to match the stage theme, i have some circus like enemies from dungeon fighter online that would fit well on this stage
Wolvbot's icon looks like he's the same human as Wolverine. His face might need to be edited to a robotic look. I don't know how skillful you are in spriting/editing but maybe you could find someone who can edit the face for you.
Funny thing that flash sprite above both characters looks like a blocking flash when slashing. You may need a flash sprite, but you did a good start in trying to test your flash effects/sprites I think.
