There are plenty of amazing platformers out there, each with a unique and sometimes similar movement systems. We have experimented with a few different styles, and felt that the previous dash, which simply gave you a speed boost in the direction you were facing, was quite limiting in that it didn’t add much to the level design except for a few limited use cases, which were quite finicky and unforgiving. This new dash style gives you a burst of speed if you are moving slow, otherwise it maintains your momentum for a moment, ignoring friction and gravity. It can move you in any direction allowing for both a speed boost when starting off or changing directions and allows you to reach just that little bit higher, great for barely missed jumps. The art for this may change later, but for now when you dash a small trail will appear matching your player color.
