Platformer Test 1

This was a project from back in 2024 that I never got around to publishing. I was working on this project for the Smith College Game Development Club (now known as IGDA Smith) The goal for the project was to create a Hollow Knight like player controller!

NOTE: Please do not try to override the frame rate the game runs at! It is locked at 60 fps. I did this as an intentional choice in case I went further with development, I wanted to have the potential for true frame perfect inputs. As such, there are some systems in the game that rely on the game running at 60 fps.
