Thanks for playing!
Which part of the underground was it? Can use the video on the page for a timestamp if needed. However, generally if a jump feels too high, it generally requires the usage of chain jumping, since that builds height. That sign was easily skippable, and I didn't really give a good intro place to try it, which is my bad lol.
I'll be playing around with the ground pound as well to see if I can incorporate it a bit more for sure! In a later spot it is used a lot more for a specific mechanic you can discover (or read from a sign at that point), but I may do a slight height increase for the ground pound by default. I'll see what feels good :)
moving forward and coming out of ground-pound-jump, I reeally wanted to charge up a dash
Can you clarify this? Like, when you ground pound, jump, then you are in the air, you wanted to do a mid-air dash thing? Or am I reading that wrong haha. I'm definitely open to ideas if they end up meshing well :)
