Head has 'infinite jump'

[SanPollo]

Just like the Metroidvania games with their double jump, Head has an infinite jump which means you can move one screen, jump over the barrier between Head and Heels, and unite them straight away. Then you can jump over every single obstacle in the game.

To reproduce, hold the direction you want to jump in, and continually press jump with the direction key held down.

Tested using the latest sources from the main branch on FreeBSD 14.3 with Allegro 4.4.3.1.

Yep, I’ve encountered this already. Holding a move key lets Head jump from any point, making the game much easier :D At first I noticed an extra sound, which is 💯% related. It’s something related to character activities. Turning on DEBUG_ACTIVITIES may help.
