Splatter effect

[michalove]

Lets add an option to disable the splatter effect. It should be replaced by something else, then. One user requested the meat/blood to be persistent after death, similar to super meat boy. I am not convinced of that.

Other ideas I had for the death animation:

• confetti
• super mario-like: A sound is played, then the player image moves up a bit and then down out of the screen.
• Something with a ghost??

I also agree that blood should not stay. We usually only have one ninja on the map - leaving the blood would convey the message that there's more than one ninja (although come to think of it, the level-end screens kind of do that, too).

I've never been fond of the super-mario like death. It looks too old-school, I guess. A ghost sounds nice, but where would it go? Up out of the image? We could also re-add the butterfly death effect, that was nice as well.
