Making a platform seems strange and confusing. I am not sure why I am making a platform, or why it appears next to me, instead of under me, where it would be useful. They also appear kind of randomly instead of on a grid, which would make more sense to me.
P.S. Take this as helpful critique. I am just writing my experiences as I think them. It could all be said more eloquently, but I did not take the time to do that :)
