Bomb Throw Ability for Fang

Was I the one who got disappointed by the fact that Fang can't throw any bombs when you play as him?
Because that disappointment is now over! With a tap of the Toss Flag button, Fang will throw a bomb ahead!



The throw is affected by your current momentum, horizontal and vertical, enabling you to do any kind of crazy things!



This is totally free to use, as long as you give some credit (I had to get through a lot of bugfixing and trial-and-error to get this thing working)

Welcome to releases! Though, I can still throw bombs after clearing the level. Should probably do something about that, maybe? Didn't seem like something worth holding back a release for.

BUGFIX: Now Fang is unable to throw bombs after finishing a level

Excited to play this! Thanks for making it!

I love Fang's design and springy tail but I felt the same as you — wanted more of his "sniping arsenal" aside from the pop-gun.

Adding bombs helps to make Fang feel more like a cowardly sniper in his combat and how it differs from the rest of the cast, who fight more directly. I like the idea of playing Fang as a kind of "stealth" approach to the levels — take out the enemies ahead of you on screen, bounce ahead to the next section. Bombs make that much more feasible, theoretically!

Will update this post or add another with thoughts later!

Someone should mod Bean into the game and give him that ability.

I agree, do you know how to make a character? Are there sprites of Bean already made?
This bomb ability would be nice for him yeah.

I've never made a character for SRB2 before, but I could try. I'll find the tools and see what I can do.

What if Tails was the one who could throw the bombs :O? Just like he did in his own game...
