I recently opened one of my projects again, and realized that something was off with the camera. Although it is set to follow a certain sprite, the sprite seems to be one grid space above the camera. If you run the project, he should be vertically centered but instead is slightly above the middle of the screen.

If anyone could figure out why this is happening, it would help a lot.

This game looks really good so far! I have no idea what might be causing this, maybe something to do with the grid extension? Whatever it is, when I made the sprite bigger and centered it, like this:

The issue seemed to go away!

Thanks! Would you mind sharing a link to your version?
