Hi! im currently making a platformer game named dash shenanigans!

So heres the concept: This is a game where you are a cube and you can move around and all that, the goal is to reach the portals to go to the next room or finish the level. Some platforms are too long to jjust jump across, so you need to collect something called “Dash Ability” where you get a one time use of a dash (can work mid-air) Which store limit is 2, which means you can dash two times, but you cant collect more than 2. Theres the same concept of that but a different ability named “Air Ability” where you can jump twice once. heres the title page for now.

Fixed it, it was extremely simple you didn’t put 3 for one of the gotoAndPlay ones. Also I made it so no animation is played when the player is still.My Project5-2-2026_20-46-18.wick (82.7 KB)

Also why do you have gotoAndPlay for animations? You could just do this.gotoAndStop(), that may cause problems later like animation bugging out in the clip. But good job making a platformer script :)
