#### Jet Pack

We don't necessarily need this, but the exercise of brainstorming ideas for it might be good for development anyway. Based on Bored No More's screen shot which depicts The Cat Face in such a way that he appears to be wearing a jetpack, I got to thinking:

What would a Glitchian Jetpack do?
- We don't need to be able to levitate.
- We don't need to go faster.
- We don't need anything to teleport us where we want to go.
All these things are taken care of. But, if we had a jetpack, maybe it would do this:
Give you teleport face as it launches you straight up into the air. After a few seconds being higher than the visible screen, it would teleport you to a random street in Ur, where you would fall from the sky like the lunatic you are.

- To me, the important aspect of the jetpack, that would make it a tough thing to code for this game, is that it would be both a very visual thing like a piece of clothing and a practical device. It would use fuel, and everyone would be able to see it strapped to your back.
  Maybe there are other practical garment ideas that would make this sort of thing worthwhile to pursue.

- haha that shot of me standing in front of a cocktail shaker does kind of make it look like I'm wearing a jet pack, which of course suggests that the cocktail shaker, filled perhaps with fermenting carbonated something or other, could do double duty as a jet pack. But I digress....

- Carl, come for a levitation ride with me sometime ;). I think I can simulate the experience you are describing above quite well, teleport included.
