1. What are the controls to your game? How do we play?

  WASD and Spacebar to move and jump.
Try out jumping and falling from different heights!
 

2. What creative additions did you make? How can we find them?

 

1. Added .15 seconds of "coyote" time that gives the player more time when making jumps
2. added a .05 jump buffer to aid in parkouring and ease of use
3. added a squash and stretch to the player that gives a visual indicator on how hard you fell (dynamic with fall velocity)
4. added particle effect on hitting the ground (dynamic with fall velocity)
5. added sound effects for jumping and 3 levels of impact with the ground
