Just to share my WIP.

I have been working on platfomer game for last couple months. But I felt like there is something missing in the game, it just doesn't feel right, so I stopped when I am about 70% finish. After couple months, I am now back on working the platformer, re-worked on some of the mechanics and gameplay. (I am re-working the whole project starting from zero again though.)
And here, I created a 1min video to show some of the progress on character movements.
Character's basic movement is completed. Might do some tunning to the jumping power though, air control might be a little too much.
Currently working on the character attacks and special attacks moveset. Still deciding, the mana system for special attacks. Like FF style (RPG style) or Legend of Mana 3 style (which you can do special attacks if the special attack gauge is fullfilled).
Still thinking of different special attacks or skills.
The current ones are just demo; they work fine, but still thinking which to implement.
Let me know your thoughts!

I think you have a cool idea here but the fights on the ground are way too long. 20 hits to kill a bad guy is going to end up putting the player to sleep.
Oh, this is a testing scene, so I boosted the enemies' health for testing purposes.
Normal mobs, should be around 2-5 hits.
Sweet, nice graphics. I think the gravity is not perfect, seems to move pretty slow but that might be for testing and hit accuracy?
Thanks for the feedback. Yeh, I just put together all the movement functions, so kind of still working out on the balancing. And, gravity is exactly what I need to adjust, I found the air control was a little bit too much. I am now increasing the gravity, the falling now is much better, air controls improved as falling was much quicker now which makes less time in air for movement.
How about moving left and moving right, is it slow?
But I can't have it run too fast, otherwise it will collide with enemies too easily (collide with enemies will take damage and bounce back.)
This week mostly working on the touch rule for mobile, pretty much reworked all of them.
Change from Touch-Press/Release to Touch-Inside/Outside.
Here is a new short video on this week progress:
Not much change visually; added a new attack - Shadow Rush, reworked the health bar and mana bar, and added more frame for double jump spinning.
Link to Video!
Any feedbacks will be appreciated.
Just finished working on a new enemy, for high difficulty. It will patrol, detect distance and chase, attack and defend. 1Min Video Showcase.
**Added sound effects.
Love the battle animations! Well done!
