The total jump height of the character is less when playing from a mobile device using the mobile controls vs. the desktop and keyboard controls. The player hit box sprite has the standard platformer behaviour and I don’t dynamically change any of the jump related settings in the game.
I thought it could be a resolution difference between the devices. In the game properties the game resolution is set to 1272x700 and I’ve tried with and without the “Update game resolution during the game to fit the screen” option both on and off with no impact. I do use the "Set game resolution resize mode to “adaptWidth” in an event, but I don’t see how a width setting could cause a height related issue.
All of the mobile controls are done via icons with events that result in the “Simulate pressing Jump key” action, so in theory the end Jump event is the same between devices.
I’ve confirmed the starting jump speed is the same between devices and I display it above the character just for testing. I’ve tried it on an iPhone and a tablet, they both produce the lower jump height.
Here is a bit of code for the player jump function:
Any ideas on what to check next? Anything I can research in debug mode? Other bits of code I should share in this post?
Here is the test build you can play if you’d like
This is the part of the first level that you get stuck on due to the height problem
