- Player can move a small amount in the air
- this makes the movement feel natural

-	// @todo: fix this, this sucks
-	// here is what sucks
-	// - when I jump on a platform, I keep skeedaddling on and fall off, WHY?
-	// - When I jump off of a platform, even sliding with low force, there 
-	// is a high force applied needlessly
-	// - I do not like the extra motion we get when in the air, that sucks
-	// when I hit a wall and press the arrow key I keep applying motion, that sucks
-	// as it also means that I am accelerating, WHILST BEING STATIONARY!! I need to fix that.
-	// A problem I face because of that is that when I press the right key, the game thinks that I
-	// was in motion, so even when I am applying the right arrow key to move, it will take time until the
-	// "sliding" movement slows down, and it usually takes 5 seconds to do that.
