A few suggestions

phil,

Number one, I absolutely love the platformer starter kit!
This package is great and has reduced the time needed to make my project by so much!

I've been using and modifying it for a few weeks now and have a few suggestions for some features you might want to consider implementing:

1) I've found that when you attach to a rope, your amount of time you are able to glide does not refresh like it does when you touch the ground, I'm sure this is a simple fix and you might want to include it.

2) You might want to add different types of enemies such as:
enemies that jump up and down and don't move otherwise

3) You could add a new behavior called climbable surface that is similar to ropes, except you can also climb from side to side

that's all

thanks for the PSK!

Awesome, thank you Nick!

I didn't know about the issue with number 1, I will make sure that it fixed in the next build.

I don't mean to bother you, but I came up with a few more add ons that I think would be quite beneficial to the PSK

1. A health behavior field for enemies, you could have the number of times you have to jump on them to kill them be selectable.

2. A pick up behavior for extra lives.
