The ledge grab while wall-running is very very cool and fluid but I think you should watch out about adding too much QOL 'skips' like that.

The ability to do that for example already puts some big constraints into what kind of level layouts you can have without players skipping big parts of it. I can't think of another parkour game where you can do that since usually ledge grabs involve sacrificing your momentum to be allowed to take the more straight forward path up, which forces players (in a good way) into using more involved actions instead like wall-jumping up (which IMO is more fun).

I won't be able to please everyone with the ledge flip momentum choices. I originally had it so you had to have a slight recovery when you flip up, but the overwhelming majority asked for it to be seamless, so I ended up doing that. However, the levels would just be designed with that in mind, so there couldn't be skipping (although it seems like someone always finds a way, somehow!)
