I'd take the y movement over a background any day,
if background gfx had to be removed to implement
y-coords.
Also, wouldn't this allow you to save more memory
in each frame? - you could cut down the size of
each frame from the 42 lines that they currently
are. And you could reuse some frames of animation
(jumping/flipping especially) and get a better
effect, by just varying the y value while keeping
the frame still. The movements will be still be
smooth, without countless frames of animation
inbetween.
And you just gotta have a jump kick! :) It probably
wouldn't look right unless the fella was a good ways
off the ground - we need y movement! :)
