No time for an entire reply right now, but I'll first add this:

Well, technically, yes. I do have a bit of a fetish for technical
speak (I love talking about technical music/sound processing terms).
But 'slots' kinda got the point across, I suppose :)

Thanks a lot for the quick reply!

As far as I remember, yes. But obviously they won't carry the player
up with them.

Check out the screen called "Forgotten Realm" in JSW: RR. It has a
beautiful (if I do say so myself) instance of a bunch of
appearing/disappearing platforms over a pit of fire, not to mention a
moving hole in the floor above. I want to make a whole game based
around these jumping/timing puzzles.

I assumed she lifted her arms up quite high because if they're much
lower they tend to clash with and confuse the definition of her body.
It's tough to get in a lot of detail in a 16x16 sprite sometimes! But
I've sufficiently altered the sprite enough to make it unique (though
I'll still give credit, obviously).
