I like the rope idea. Excelent. I'm also a fan of this (very old now) game:

Reminds me of Bionic Commando, which is no bad thing, well done! :good:
Looks cool, there also was this old SNES and playstation 1 game called Umihara Kawase, which had pretty realistic rope physics for its time. There are some videos on youtube (http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=Umihara+Kawase), might be worth checking out for inspiration. Anyway good luck with development. :)
edit:
About the virtual buttons on screen. Can you also control it with the tilt control? Maybe you make it so that tilting left/right controls the left/right walking, and to shoot a rope the player touches the screen and then tilt left/right to aim, release touch to fire the rope.
Another quality looking game. Totally reminds me of Bionic Commando. I was thinking a while back of doing something like this (but with a sheep - don't ask I'm Welsh) and using tilting so you could swing him properly. Would be quite cool if done well.
Cheers
