Nice little platformer. Btw you might want to turn on Position Smoothing for the camera for things like this. Try with and without, it makes platformers "feel" a lot better to control.
Yeah, I threw in 52 as a drastic option. I think you could develop a placement strategy with the adjacency logic in order to make it possible (without memory tricks).
Strikes hit the cutting room floor, but I may update this with that, and make the current behaviour a "hardcode" mode.
