TL;DR of the post and its discussion, generated automatically.

OP shares a way to make verticality more fun, with a nod to the Sonic spring sound and a Mega Man Legends tag.

• Why it exists (OP): lots of shafts and falling puzzles, so a way back up without stairs everywhere.
• Not the upgrade (OP): a milder high jump upgrade comes mid game; this is for puzzles and exploration.
• Combat too (OP): probably, with God of War-style puzzles, mobs as obstacles, and a multi-story boss planned.
