set rotation style [oblate v]//Might say squish instead? What should it be called?

This block takes rotation and instead of rotating would squish the sprite.

90 degrees looks like

0 degrees looks like

≈15(?) degrees looks like

≈165(?) degrees looks like

I like the effect… but wouldn't it be better as a separate thing? For example:

set [stretch v] effect to (-20)

Maybe, but I think it fits in more like this.

Scratch actually had this block in beta versions of 1.0-1.4, but it was ultimately removed:

Not really, with

set rotation style [squeeze v]

it’s not rotating but it’s changing size

However, there’s a problem with

set [squeeze v] effect to (e)

too, and it’s that it only regards Y

maybe both

a squish effect for x, and this for y

You only need one dimension of stretch, you can recover the other dimension like so:
