[Challenge] The Tower of Mani-Chaka

The world has started disappearing into purple void, and a mysterious voice tells Juni to go to the tower.

This level will have a few neat little concepts I've come up with. Such as taking away power ups in areas and hiding enemies behind blocks to create "security systems". It is a small, medium difficulty level and it will hopefully have music from the game Vexx.
The level is already done, but I'm waiting until I finish Flipping Out to release it.

There is one thing that would be nice to add to the level that I do not have. If anyone could make me a silhouetted whale custom object swimming around in the background, I would be very appreciative

EDIT: Oh yeah, added the plot.

Hey, looks nice! Now, by "silhouetted" do you mean Night Game silhouetted, or semi-transparent silouetted?

I've always been a fan of your levels, Gorf, and I await this one's completion.

Could we have a bit more specification on the whale object?  In particular, how big should it be?

I can not believe that you are the sole inventor of that technique. The level looks awesome, though.

Well, I'm using it in a unique way

And about the whale, I'd like it to be shaped like a blue or humpback whale, semi-transparent, and maybe 3x2 tile-wise?

Yeah...I can't do semi-transparent stuff 'cause I use MS Paint and Paint.net and GIMP confuse me. Sorry. 

maybe do it collaboratively: one person makes the pixel art (->whale shape frames), another one with "advanced" transparency "skills" applies the desired settings?

Yeah, well I'm not good with background stuff in general.  Like, I don't know how to make it look like it's far away without making it semi-transparent.

I can fix the transparency to my liking later. Just worry about the shape of the whale

Ok.

EDIT: I can't make the whale move 'cause I suck at that kind of stuff. I'm only good with stationary CO's, but that may change in the future. *shrugs*
...Sorry.

You could post what you made and other people could try animating it.

I wanna make whale! ...unless I forget. Well anyway, I'll have a go at it.

P.S. Whale = Win
