GAME UPDATE:
Game story changed. Same sprite base:
We've decided to make this game a bit more comical than the beer idea. The main reason for the last game story was because i'd spent so long putting together a sprite base I didn't give it enough time to think of a good story, so I rushed it.
The game is now to do with idea of helping others and only looking out for yourself and the out comes of each choice you make.
We have have dubbed our main character as a religiously confused being. It is up to the gamer to be good or bad.
So he's either a hero or an arsehole.
You go through each level fighting off bad guys and jumping objects and platforms like any other platformer but on each level you come across a stranded character that needs help being taken to the end of the level.
You (the gamer) has the choice of helping them and making the game harder for yourself or leaving them and making your way to the end of the game slightly easier.
If you collect a stranded character they slow you down and make it harder to jump distances and objects. Also your life span slowly decreases from exhaustion.
If however you decided not to collect the character in need you are able to clear each level more easily and you only lose health if you are hit by bad guys or things you have to dodge.
Because of these options we have decided to give the game 2 alternate endings.
If you decide to make it easier on yourself and take a satanists path and leave the stranded behind you die and go to hell, so the final end is a failed ending because even if you are a satanist it still wont be your heaven because satan only knows torment.
But if you save each character on each level and make it to the end you die and go to heaven which is also a failed ending because what is one mans heaven is another mans hell.
We have had a bit of talk about a possible third ending if you only help half the people or whatever meaning you go to purgatory.....Also another fail.
Basically, the game is hell.
Please keep in mind that we have only stereotyped the satanic religion and simplified meanings of others to make this game work.
Also I am not part of any religion I just find them all very interesting.
I have started to work on new sheet for carrying the stranded characters on your back. Once I have finished the sheet I will post it up.

Update:
Here's a quick sample of what i've been working on. There's a bunch more of these to come a long with the walking and jumping actions.
So here's our character being a good samaritan and taking a dude with an awesome hair style to saftey.
