Build it yourself: jump buffering

What we are doing

Coyote time forgives a jump pressed a little too late. Now forgive one pressed a little too early: if the player presses jump up to 6 frames before landing, remember it and jump the moment they land.

Your turn

• A jump pressed in the air, up to 6 frames before landing, happens as soon as the player lands.
• A jump pressed earlier than that is forgotten.
• Jumping from the ground works as before, and a press in the air still does not jump there and then.
