Visually this game is gorgeous. Control wise it feels awful. Sluggish, awkward, and like gravity turns on halfway through a jump. Also, the level design, at least in the starting area feels like a child's first draft. It doesn't feel like a town.

Are you thinking the gravity should be higher, or that there should be more residual physics after you jump, dash, etc? I've changed it a bunch of times, but I found that the game was more jittery and hard to control when the gravity was higher.
Also, let me know if you have a favorite platformer with a character controller that you like. It's hard to determine what you mean without a video or a point of reference.
