The Jump

While the player is pulling the launchers (only those that have input) a parable will appear to help on launch. The parable shows the movement path.



The camera will follow the human cannonball through the screen. The camera

When the player dies the camera has to go back to the launcher point

The character had to be always on the center of the screen in the end of the movement. The camera can have a little delay and easy in.

While the player is pulling down the elastic the camera is zooming out for better view of the phase.

Camera move

If the game has checkpoints, the camera has to go back to the last checkpoint.
