I'm not quite sure what you mean with platforming physics. I know that there are bugs because of the colliders of the tilemap which results in the bugs and I know that you can stick to the moving platforms. Maybe you mean that the player is too fast or the camera to slow? The 'c' Button is the Key for jumping in Celeste, a game which I was playing lately, and it provides a lot of advantages because it isn't as big as the space bar but I can also add the space bar as an alternative.
