A Jump That Feels Amazing
The same jump from Quest 1, now it feels pro. You add the handful of tricks great platformers use to flatter the player: coyote time so a press just after a ledge still works, jump buffering so a press just before landing still fires, variable jump height so tap is a hop and hold is a full jump, and asymmetric gravity so you fall faster than you rise. Each one is a few lines and a felt difference.

Dash, Double Jump & Wall Jump
Quest 3 of 8 in 2D Platformer.
The moves that make it a precision platformer. You add a double jump for recovery and expression, an air dash with a cooldown and a one-per-airtime refresh, and a wall slide plus wall jump with a brief input lock so the kick reads as deliberate. Movement becomes something you can be good at.

Juice It: Shake, Squash & Particles
Juice is the disproportionate feedback that makes actions feel good. You build a reusable Juice autoload (freeze-frames, particle bursts, screen flashes), add dust on every step and landing, a Mario-style squash-and-stretch spring, screen shake and a zoom punch scaled to impact, a camera that leads where you move, and pitch-varied sound so nothing repeats. Every action starts to pop.

Coins, Combos & Stomping
The first taste of an actual game. You add coins that bob, sparkle, and pop a floating +1, a combo that chains pickups for a rising-pitch payoff and a score HUD, a stompable enemy that decides between a juicy squash and a death, and one shared die-and-respawn so a side hit sends you blinking back. Collect, chain, stomp, and try again.
