The way you do them is you have to be holding the button when you hit a rail or a wall. Most commonly, you\u2019ll do a jump and you\u2019ll keep holding the button until you hit the rail or wall. Also if you\u2019re walljumping up a tall column, just keep on holding the button, you don\u2019t need to let go for each jump. The walljump is actually kinda buggy, and won\u2019t always work if you\u2019re falling down. This is because the game thinks you\u2019re landing on a tile instead of hitting it from the side. I\u2019ll likely fix this at some point. Also if you hit a rail on the very edge, you might hit the rail but fall off instantly. I\u2019m going to call that an unintentional feature, because it\u2019s kind of a neat thing that you can \u201calmost\u201d hit a rail. \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n<p>A lot of people have been asking for a button for changing directions, but I think that not being able to turn around and playing the game with just one button is a pretty big point. I\u2019m probably not adding that in. The actual problem is of course level design. There should be more blocks around so that you can bounce off a wall if you want to turn, or climb up quicker if you fall down.<\/p>\n<p>Anyways, people seem to be liking the game, so thanks for that. I hope this little explanation clears things out (if there was anything to be cleared).<\/p>\n<p>Tags: <a href=\"http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/tag\/tiny-hawk\/\" rel=\"tag\">tiny hawk<\/a><\/p>","time":"April 28th, 2008 10:54 am","title":"About Tiny Hawk controls"}
