Add game feel behavior to your platformer character object to get the animations:

  • Idle: gives your character breath animation while not moving.
  • Jump: gives your character squash and stretch animation when jumping.
  • Fall: gives your character stretch animation when falling.
  • Land: gives your character squash and stretch animation when landing.

Behavior

  • Game feel behavior.
  • Includes the options (Scale strength/Scaling speed) for every animation.

Condition

  • Animation is playing.

Action

  • Disable animation.
  • Enable animation.

Important

  • In the events add the action [Separate player object from floor object] to avoid any kind of bugs.

  • Your sprite "origin" point, must be at the center bottom.

  • Your sprite bottom collision, must be filled entirely.
