Platformer Move Jump
The fastest path to a character that runs and jumps. You build the player from a CharacterBody2D and apply gravity. You run with acceleration and friction, jump off the ground, and swap between idle, run, jump and fall animations. One sitting, one platformer character on screen.

A Jump That Feels Amazing
Quest 2 of 8 in 2D Platformer.
The same jump from Quest 1, now it feels pro. You add the four tricks great platformers use to flatter the player. Coyote time lets you jump just after a ledge. Jump buffering catches a press just before you land. Variable jump height gives you a hop on a tap and a full jump on a hold. Asymmetric gravity makes you fall faster than you rise. Each one is a few lines and a felt difference.

Dash, Double Jump & Wall Jump
The moves that make it a precision platformer. You add a double jump for recovery and expression. You add an air dash with a cooldown and a one-per-airtime refresh. Then a wall slide and 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 for freeze-frames, particle bursts and screen flashes. Then you add dust on every step and landing, a Mario-style squash-and-stretch spring, and screen shake with a zoom punch scaled to impact. Finish with a camera that leads where you move, and pitch-varied sound so nothing repeats. Every action starts to pop.
