It could be because you're not holding down the jump button the whole time, which gives you some extra air time.

The old version used to force the extra air time when using the turbo blaster, but I changed it at some point, and probably should've lowered that platform a little to accomodate.

Well, I am holding the jump button down for certain.
Update: found the problem. I can't hold down the button And shoot down at the same time. I have to take my finger off the jump button and then repress it after firing the gun to get more height. Will see If I can get up there now.

Oh I see, that's annoying!

You're intended to be able to hold down both. Are you playing on keyboard? I wonder if it's a simultaneous button press limit issue.

On keyboard yeah. Yep, I did make it up to the first platform once with a few minutes of trying. It's really really difficult still. Can only get maybe half of the beamtime with the jump button press boost, even with holding the beam down.

I'll have to implement a workaround for this then, thanks for letting me know.

It's still possible, but it was way tighter than it should be. (;
