Well. I think the "stomp" can actually be used at any time, even mid-air? That would certainly make it quite strong.
But from how it was introduced and how it usually works in these games, I assumed:
- You can only use it when standing on the ground
- If you’re not on the ground, the input might be "buffered" and you end up making a stomp as soon as you hit the ground, which might be bad
I suspect also that you’re basically invulnerable while stomping? That would again make it quite strong and masheable. But it’s not how these things usually works in serious(tm) games.
I see, thx. Well yes the stomp can be used mid-air and yes you are also sort of invulnerable during it unless the enemy itself is not stompable like the flying spiky enemies in level 3 and of course wallspikes will also still hurt you even during the stomp. It's very strong but it is somewhat balanced by the fact that you cannot really stomp enemies above you so at the very least you have to get above them first or next to them if there's a floor.
