I have a question for you all regarding some graphics for The probe...

I want to represent the probe's "health" using some sort of graphic, and I was thinking that a spanner would look good (as the player is a robotic probe...):

If I had this added to the head up display with a percentage next to it (0-100), and have the icon also as a collectable in-game to recover health, do you think this is intuitive enough to represent the player's health in the game?

See the possible HUD screenshot below:



I am also playing with the health power-up box colour too...any suggestions would be nice

cheers,
Paul
