It is really nice. I love how the mechanics looks fluid. Definitely would like to try it!

There is a lot that could be added in terms of visual indicators to the players (of course it look obvious when you are the creator, but some platforms are so far from each other that people might search for them).

At the end of a platform, you could add something like a small butterfly hanging there that would be a cue that tells player there is a type of jump that can be performed there to go further. I am pretty sure this would not take away anything to the liberty in movements of the player.

I agree with the visual markers stuff. The ground pound jumps were cool but the platforms were far and I could see myself easily getting lost

homing attack, bouncing? You sure this isn't sonic adventure 2 😆

Looks great, very authenic to ps2 platformers!

Would love any feedback or constructive criticism I can get!
The feel of your movement will make or break a platformer. Yooka-Laylie ignored this, the movement doesn't feel good, so it was never capable of succeeding. Mario Odyssey/Galaxy are fantastic examples of amazing feel.

Giving "Weight" to Buttons [Design Specifics]

When I was a kid, I was blown away by how I could use my hands to move things around on-screen. We play games by receiving information with our eyes and ears, then sending information back with our hands—making the feel of the controls vitally important. I always try to keep this in mind when programming, designing, or setting parameters.
