Help defining a new game..
Character wanders around a landscape, he has skills like a Lemming. The skills will depend on what colour hat he's wearing.

1. Yellow Hat = Hard Hat = Ability to smash his way through scenery, using his head.

2. Green Hat = Rubber Hat = Ability to fall head first, and then bounce back up onto an adjacent platform.

Clicking the character will turn him around.

What other coloured hats can he wear?

 		OK, here are some possible ideas (dunno how well these would fit with what you have in mind):
-Orange Hat = Helicopter Hat = Ability to float across a gap.
-Red Hat = Fire Hat = Ability to set fire to stuff (fuses, maybe?).
-Silver Hat = Mirror Hat = Ability to reflect stuff (maybe light, maybe projectile objects, depends).

 		Chef hat = ability to walk on "dough roller" ( not sure if its translated right ), to run faster!

 		Do you mean a rolling pin? Still, nice idea!

 		Most hats I can think of just seem to be to allow him to move through different types of scenery, which makes them all essentially the same.

-Red Hat (Fire), allows him to walk through fire.
-White Hat, makes him go partially invisible and can walk through special walls.
-White Hat (Light, I couldn't think of a better color for this), an aura glows around him allowing him to walk through darkened areas (otherwise you can't see anything).
-Blue Hat (Water), allows him to swim across water (otherwise he drowns or falls to the bottom of the sea for inconvenience).
-Grey Hat (Iron), allows him to be ultra heavy and so sinks to the bottom of the sea and walk along the floor.
-Pink Hat (Love), allows him to walk past scary monsters without them pounding him into the ground.
-Light Grey (cotton), makes him really light like a cotton ball (or some pollen) and so can be blown around by windy sections.

If you could allow right clicking too for a special hat specific action, you could do so much more. Right clicking would...

-Black Hat (Bullet), jump up suddenly like a bullet smashing through the floor above (but they don't fall down through the floor).
-Yellow Hat (Light), turns the guy into light making him stream across the screen (i.e. cross wide gaps).
-Purple Hat (Acrobat), allows him to jump diagonally.
-Grey Hat (Bomb), allows you to lay bombs that explode later.
-Cyan (Electric), allows him to spark electricity around him (powers items, turns on platforms, opens doors, etc).

Need any more?
