Juice systems — input buffering, coyote time, screen feedback — tuned via live-adjustable parameters.

Steps
- 1Expose movement/combat parameters to a runtime debug panel
- 2Add input buffering (100-150ms) before touching anything else
- 3Add coyote time (~100ms) and jump buffering for platformers immediately
- 4Layer feedback per action: animation, sound, particle, camera nudge, hitstop
- 5Tune one parameter set at a time; record clips comparing before/after
- 6Playtest with controller AND touch/keyboard; feel differs per input
Common Pitfalls
- ▲Hardcoded magic numbers nobody dares retune
- ▲Juice added after systems freeze, breaking balance
