I've been learning and working out mechanics for a while now so decided it is time to do something with that knowledge.  Right now the controller just has the basics features in most platformers but in the coming weeks hope to expand and create something fun. Any ideas of what would make a fun and different platformer game would be very helpful and appreciated. 

A lot more completed on the controller. Sliding, ground pound, Jump pads, moving platforms, pick ups, wall jumping, double jumping. Tighten up the controls and also added a terminal velocity. Checkpoint and respawn system added but still need to do some work on the camera and character visuals while respawning. Next steps will be adding ice and water movements.
