I’m trying to understand v-play engine and trying to do some edit with the “doodle jump” example. I removed auto-jump and player now triggering the jump himself/herself by simply pushing the “up arrow” key. However, a strange problem appeared and I couldn’t figure out why it is happening. The player(ninja) has it’s own collider and so the bricks he jumps on (obviously). However, I feel colliders that should have the size of bricks is simply have much more height. To make an example of it there are 2 cropped screenshots links below:

One screenshot was taken when the ninja got top of the brick. The other screenshot was taken after the ninja jumped on the very same brick and landed on the very same brick. As you can see there is a big difference where the ninja stands.

Can anyone explain me why this is happening and how to prevent it?

For debugging purposes, you can go to the PhysicsWorld item of your game and activate the debugDrawVisible setting.
This will show the collider boxes in addition to the image sprites, so you can have a look if the sizes are correct.

If you are using the same collider code for Platform.qml as in the demo, you also have to consider that the collider is set to bodyType: Body.Dynamic and collisionTestingOnlyMode: true.
This setting only detects collisions but does not affect the physics body when a collision happens. This also means, that if your player falls down and a collision is detected there is no guarantee that the player y-position is directly on top of the platform.

For a possible solution, you can have look at the Simple Platformer demo, which includes platforms that the player can run and jump on.
