Yes, reversing the screen sounds kewl
what do you mean with the transition block?

3 speeds/3 difficulty levels but maybe have a key combination at the title
screen for more levels of speed/difficulty and have those keypresses revealed
when you beat a normal game (i.e. Kirby's Dream Land for Game Boy) and take
that part out of the source :-)

would the R.I.P stone be an obstacle or just be in the background?  I think
making enemies into barriers would be a kewl idea
otherwise, show the head being disembodied, then turn into a small
unnoticable lump

fade in/out?  you mean for each level you fade in to start and fade out to
end?
if the fading has anything to do w/ contrast then leave it out
is GW 2 out?

I'd say 3 lives, no change
or else 6 lives on easy, 4 on medium, and 2 on hard
