'''Wall jumping''' is ''Downwell''{{'}}s least-explained trick: press jump while right next to a wall and moving away from it, and you get a second jump with much greater height than usual.

== How it works ==

Whether a wall jump is available depends on [[Welltaro]]'s current sprite. If he is tumbling toward the wall — the rolling animation you get from jumping off the ground, an enemy or a [[Doodads|doodad]] while holding a direction — the kick is available. It can be used once per airborne stretch, and only with full [[Charge|charge]]; taking a hit in mid-air grants another one.

Anything that switches you to the ordinary jump sprite forfeits the wall jump: shooting, walking off a ledge, jumping without holding a direction, or having just wall jumped.

Wall jumps preserve your [[Combos|combo]], making them a handy way to regain height mid-chain.
