That’s all fine, but when Poto & Cabenga get tragically split up by a hungry dragon, the space bar then controls them both, but the controls for each are the opposite of the other. When Poto dashes, Cabenga doesn’t, pressing space makes one jump, while letting go makes the other. Very confusing!<\/p>\n
