An independent game developer is showing off a movement mechanic where players press down plus jump to slide, then jump again to cancel it into a jump. The joke going around is that the more you spam the slide-jump cancel, the cooler you look. The developer admits the test level is nothing but black squares, but the mechanic itself is what has people talking.

Why now: Indie developers sharing fun movement tech and unfinished level footage is a reliable way to spark conversation in gamedev circles.
