Interesting mechanic! As another commenter said, I couldn't get past the second jump after the second checkpoint. It looks like you replied saying "this is meant to teach you the mechanic", but I couldn't figure out what to do? I wasn't able to jump to those platforms above, so I'm not really sure how to proceed. I do like the idea of the game but I think it needs a bit better tutorialisation before getting to the platforming "puzzles" where you need to figure things out. Overall though, an interesting entry :)

Yes I can jump higher by holding space, but not that high! This bug is usually because of an effect called frame rate physics, where the physics are called every frame but the frame rate is not consistent across two different setups. If you put all the movement code in _physics_process that should fix this, alternatively you can mess around with the delta variable but it's more finnicky.

Sorry for the delay, here is a video of me doing a jump while holding space as long as I can, and as you can see, I'm not getting the jump height similar to your clip. This is on the web version of the game.

Hmmm I see, I'll have to bring it up to GugloPWN after the jam since we can't edit files during voting. Thank you!

Thanks for the feedback! I am new to Godot and had seen som warnings about messing with things during the physics process. Everything is basically stuck together with chewing gum. I'll put the game on GitHub later for anyone who is curious.
