A Jump That Feels Amazing

Quest 2 of 8 on the Your First Game path → a finished game

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.

Perfect for you if:

  • You finished Move & Jump (or have a basic CharacterBody2D jump)

  • You want 3D or top-down movement
  • You only want a finished project to download
  • You're looking for combat or netcode
