There’s an extension that I’ve seen and would really like to use for my game, but I don’t know how to find it in the extensions search.

It’s orange and says “platformer,” like this:

I’ve seen it used in a few games, including @ Bifrosty’s cozy game jam submission with the cow. I have looked in the javascript at what the extension is called; it says arcade-platformer but when I added that (with riknoll/ at the start) it was not it.

This extension includes great things like coyote time, wall jumping, and premade gravity, which would really help me and save a lot of time for a game I’m making. So does anyone know what this extension is called??

Thanks in advance,

The extension you’re looking for is probably `Microsoft/arcade-platformer`.
