First of all you want to have some amount of early and late input forgiveness. So basically a small window of time where the player can press jump before touching the ground, or press jump after running of a ledge and they will still jump. Also, if you have wall-jumping, delaying the player's ability to become un-stuck from the wall they're on will make it feel much better. Tommy Refenes talks about that very thing in this video: https:\/\/vimeo.com\/34928357 (at 2:30) about Super Meat Boy. We basically just ripped off those controls because they feel good."},{"author_name":"Incredible Ape","author_uid":"12165","time":"Apr 24, 2015 @ 5:24pm","epoch":1429895940,"text":"<programmer here> I wouldn't say we ripped them off, but we took a lot of influence from those controls.\r\rThere's also a lot of influence from Kyle Pulver's work. He did a good mini-series on how to make controls feel good. Here's a piece on what Ian mentioned above: http:\/\/kpulv.com\/106\/Jump_Input_Buffering\/\r\rI'd really like to see some better resources for creating nice feeling controls! There's a lot of things I consider "best practices" that are oft-unspoken.
