That's very cool! It'll give a very realistic feel to our world, I'd
say. 

There must be a minor bug somewhere though. Two times I got stuck when
trying to walk under a platform that was to low. I couldn't move in any
direction. Instead I could jump onto the platform.

That's something I'm looking forward to as well.


Finally, here are some thoughts on the current stuff:

When jumping while pressing an arrow key, the velocity in that direction
should be increased, so that you can jump further. And when jumping next
to a platform, perhaps the character should be able to grab the edge of
the platform and draw himself onto that platform.

Apart from that, it's almost perfect. We'll finally are able to do
proper stairs and lots of other nifty things!
