Swindler (character)

Swindler is the main character of the game of the same name.

Appearance
Swindler's body is very gooey. He has a green torso, with two small half-circle like structures pointing down, these being his legs. His head is also gooey, first appearing as a small half-sphere cap, then having goo extending from the top as Swindler descends down. Between his gooey body and head is his face, being black coloured with two visible white eyes, which kind of resembles a bandit mask. If Swindler hits a wall, bits of his body splatter off.

Game Information
Swindler's gooey head has a part of it that can be pulled off, this part appearing as a green cord when pulled from his head. It can extend infinitely, and what Swindler uses for movement. At the start of each level, Swindler will pull a cord from his gooey head, attach it to a pole, then jump off the side of the platform he is on. When attached, he can lower and increase the cord at his will. His cord can stretch snugly around blocks, even if they already have a green cord around them. Swindler's entire body can be damaged by some enemies, if damaged to much causing Swindler to die.

If Swindler wraps his cord around an Orange Tile, it will spike out and snap his cord, causing Swindler to explode and his cord to fall backwards and unwind itself. If a Saw Yellow Goo is angered by Swindler, it will saw into him for a short period of time. It will attack any part of him, if it can't attack Swindler himself, he will saw into his cord, eventually snapping it.

Deaths
Swindler is unique in many ways when it suffers a different death per enemy. When he is hit by a Spherical Orange Goo, Swindler will move around on the squishy insides of the Sphere, soon being choked and consumed by the enemy. When a Sick Orange Goo hits Swindler with its vomit, Swindler will get the substance over him and then disintegrate.

When a Cord Orange Goo gets to the player, the Eater Orange Goo will consume Swindler in its mouth, killing Swindler and shrinking its body. Some enemies do not kill Swindler at all, and some kill Swindler by causing him to die in the simplest way. The simplest way Swindler can die is by his body exploding, and his cord moving backwards the way it came.

Trivia

 * Swindler is very similar to the Green Enzymes in Test Subject Green, as in that they are both blobs which are the same shade of green.
 * Swindler is said by many reviews of the game with the same name to be made of snot. This is actually unconfirmed, as Swindler's species is never revealed.
