Tune movement curves to the game's goal

From GMTK video on Celeste's movement

What was said about N+

  • N+ uses strong air control, a very different feel from Celeste. A Game Maker's Toolkit video on Celeste's movement cites N+ as a game with intense air control. Its point is that tuning the movement curves to the game's goal gives very different results, and tight control is only one option.

    The video sets N+ beside Inside, which uses realistic animation, and Sonic, which has a "ridiculously long acceleration curve" and trouble stopping. That suits a game about building momentum.
