Description

Is it possible somehow to use these controls to realise something like a spaceship. So that without using a Floor the character won't endlessly fall and finding a way to control the spaceship on all three axes, so that it can go right, left, forward, backward and additionally up & down.

I could imagine this that instead of the Jump controls, there could be two keys (or buttons on mobile) for up & down movement.

Research direction

Start by reviewing the existing character controls, especially how the Floor requirement and Jump controls work. Define the intended free-floating movement on all three axes, including keyboard and mobile inputs, and determine how completion can be tested without a floor.
