Okay, started work on my ugly proof-of-concept demo and I've got a basic platformer. She can walk, she can jump.

AND she can drop through platforms.

I think I would decrease the wait between the appearances (characters, dragon), and yeah, I’d definitely speed up the dragon drop. Maybe one wing flap might even be enough?

It could be a little faster but I love the flight animation and the zoom-in at the end.

Skeleton walking animation. Learned a lot in terms of frame numbers and smoothness of movement vs. momentum.

I tried a low-resolution aesthetic with this pixel scene. If you have any suggestions or thoughts, I'm all ears! Please share any suggestions you have!
