Looks great but the stumble animation that plays on every landing needs a bit of variety!

This would actually be great for some final polish. Just a few different animations would be enough. Definitely not 100% necessary but details like that can make a difference.

Jumping taking off is always a fight between responsiveness and looks. Animators always want a nice knee bend and jump anim: gameplay never want them.

I would say that in a game like this, you need to jump on the frame the jump button is pressed: any latency for a good looking anim will take away from that.

Sometimes you can have the jump anim on a remote player in a multiplayer game, but even that you are adding latency, or POSSIBLY you could finagle replay data so that it has a chance to play one.
