Hi, thanks so much for your feedback! For the friction on the jump, are you referring to how there's like a little bit of pushback? As for the death, I agree it definitely feels a bit weak. I'll keep that in mind. Do you remember the title of the game you're referring to? I would love to go and see how to improve the death animation. Thanks for playing!
I think it was this game https://itch.io/jam/wowie-jam-3/rate/939105
As for pushback, no I meant more so that jumping while touching a wall felt like you wouldn't jump as high, I can't remember exactly. Maybe it wasn't the case.
