Saw this game today it looks really fun (and the type of game I was actually thinking of making). I know it's early days but here are some features I think would be really cool to add (that I don't think have been mentioned elsewhere)

Speed counter somewhere on screen. Can really help you feel how fast you are moving.
Some mechanic that allows additive velocity (think cs bhop, quake strafe jump, or mirrors edge wall kick chain). The movement feels good but it feels like there is a velocity hard cap (difficult to verify). After I jump off a wall or vault, I think going faster would feel "natural" and would reward players who are good at parkour.

Really excited to see what you do with this game and would love to hear what's coming next or other peoples feature requests.

Hey, thanks for playing! Great suggestions, and I'll address some of your questions here:

There is a hard velocity cap in place for your character. I initially did have a mechanic for additive velocity with a chained dive, but felt is was too fast, and since I plan on making arenas small/medium sized, I don't want it to get too insane. I am using games like Titanfall and Double Action: Booglaoo here to model the pace of the game.

THAT SAID - I could MAYBE add a host options so that the owner of a freerun/arena can enable chained dives/bunnyhopping/etc. I'll see what I can do, as player expression and freedom is a core pillar here.

For now, there's no official roadmap, but I do have a few things planned and a vision for this game:

A set of arena maps that rotate every 2 rounds
At least 3 different weapon types with arena pickups (+ health pickups)
Custom animations for parkour events
6v6 Freeze Tag mode, potentially
Keep leaning into the blocky color aesthetic
Optional speedometer to the HUD (Thanks!)
And many more things that will likely pop into my brain as I continue to develop this

Once again, I appreciate you taking the time to make this thread and I hope you continue to enjoy playing in the future!
