    Dude, you should turn this into a recurring series. Even if it's not a tutorial. Just let us watch you make sprites. It's a lot of fun. -- There's another RUclipsr that does something similar, but with blender and lowpoly art (Imphenzia), and it's a ton of fun to watch. You just gave me vibes like I was watching his channel, except for 2D. Very freaking cool. ❤️

    for anyone wondering about the squash and stretch: change the horizontal and/or vertical scale of the sprite at jump key press, reset the scale(s), check for vertical collision and change them again when player touches ground.

    • @Vimlark

      I actually set is all up as a function so you can call it more than just on the jump. Also ways to make it hold for falls.
