Then I realized that 10 seconds passes and the floor turns to lava for 10 seconds before returning to grass :sweat_smile: I think having coyote time would help with the platforming, to give it a little better game feel when jumping last second. I found it frustrating that I couldn't jump onto platforms when starting the jump too close, I'd bounce off them or not be able to get on the platform for some reason. The camera lagged behind too much, I would much prefer being able to control it myself. For a first try at third person it's not too bad! Reminiscent of early third person action games.","format":"md","likes":1,"spam":"N"},{"id":857946,"author_name":"Ricky Owings","author_uid":"ricky-owings","epoch":1664901138,"text":"The music is kind of repetitive. The camera is a bit clunky (although a lot of coin collector games have the same issue though). The jumping collision when you go onto a ledge is a bit off either because is not any air strafing or the collisions on the player are kind of weird. Decent game.

I think there are also problems with collision where jumps may not clear if the player is jumping up while near a platform, leading to have to do a running jump at all jumps. Most 3D platformers provide a second set of inputs specific to allow control of the camera, but I'm grateful there was any camera control at all, even if delayed and limited to where the player was facing.\n\nStill, good job with a first jam! The song was pretty catchy, even as a basic tune.
