Wall Jumping

Wall jumping is DownwellTemplate:'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 doodad while holding a direction — the kick is available. It can be used once per airborne stretch, and only with full 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 combo, making them a handy way to regain height mid-chain.
