As the title suggests, Tarkus would be perfect for this game.

Do you mean Iron Tarkus from Dark Souls? :) Would be difficult to kick enemies off the ledge in 2D game :D

No, I meant the armadillo tank from the ELP album. To me it looks like something that would fit
the art direction of this game.

:) I see, that didn't cross my mind :))))). Thanks for the inspiration, I was a bit confused with Tarkus reference, didn't hear that album and the closest reference I could have come with was Dark Souls :)

No worries, I've only ever played Demon's Souls (briefly) so I was completely unaware of another Tarkus, and unless you're into prog-rock then it's a reasonably obscure album; however, that being said, if you do like prog-rock then you at least have to give side 1 a listen.

That's what I thought when I read the post. He would be a strange addition.
