Polish Pass & Player Personality (Build 0.6.4)

🎮 Polish Pass & Player Personality (Build 0.6.4)
Hey everyone! 👋
This update focuses on giving BitJump a smoother, more expressive feel — both in gameplay and presentation.
You’ll notice better feedback, bouncier animations, and fewer frustrating edge cases. The game is feeling more alive and responsive than ever!
✨ What’s New
🎠Player Feel & Animation
-
Added squash and stretch animations for jumping and landing — the player now compresses slightly before taking off and stretches in midair for a playful, bouncy look.
-
Improved wall and ceiling collision logic — no more abrupt stops when brushing against edges or platforms.
💥 Visual & Sound Polish
-
Added new spark and poof effects to explosions, interactions, and other objects to make them feel more impactful.
-
Updated several sound effects to give the game a more cohesive and polished soundscape.
🧱 Physics & Bug Fixes
-
Fixed a long-standing issue where you could instantly die by slightly clipping into a wall — collisions are now much more forgiving and consistent.
-
Smoothed out side-clipping when jumping near walls — platforming feels tighter and more predictable.
🌟 Closing Thoughts
BitJump’s starting to feel more like a living, breathing little platformer — with personality in every bounce and polish in every jump.
These subtle changes make each action feel more satisfying, fair, and fun to play.
Thanks for checking out the latest build and following along — more stages, surprises, and tweaks are coming soon! 💚
