Im trying to create a Doodle Jump "style" app but the character keeps jumping like
crazy every time it jumps on the platform. For example instead of having a stable
jump every time character lands on the platform it jumps higher and higher until
eventually it leaves the screen. I tried basing the jump with gravity / bounce physics
I also tried applying linear damping and I messed around a bit with apply linear impulse
and force but nothing seems to get it done right. What I want is a stable jump just like
Doodle Jump, Any help is appreciated Thank You!

Linear impulse is a good way of doing jumps in my experience, although sometimes I've found transition.to is better.

Applying force will make the object jump like crazy because it stacks.
