jumping

[Momar]

it feels a little odd when jumping and i let go of the button, he just falls immediately. there doesnt seem to be any momentum unless you hold the button until you reach the peak. Also theres no momentum at all, i think a little would make the game play a little easier?

They traded momentum for control. You can control how high you jump so it allows weak jumps in addition to high jumps. When you deal with spikes and low flying bosses/mobs you'll love this feature since you can tap jump to hit them. Automaximum jump would murder you in a lot of areas and make navigating spike pits hell.

there's plenty of momentum, just not for your base jump.

I don't think the OP is asking for a single, auto-max jump, but rather jump-feel that lives up the the bar established by great platformers like Mario, Meat Boy, Ori, Shovel Knight, etc.

All of these have great "control" and "precision" BTW.

I like the less floaty jumping mechanics. I do think it gives more control while in air. Although I love meatboy I often overdid my jumps in that one. It doesn't happen that often in this.

The controls are bad, its pretty hard to control the character on all times, unlike Super Metroid or SOTN that have very tight controls with different jump heights. Art is good tho.
