Bouncing off an enemy's head, higher when the jump key is held

Jumping on enemies sounds simple until the character takes damage from the side of an enemy it clearly landed on, bounces twice off one enemy, or bounces the same low height whatever the player does. Here is how to decide stomp or hit and what the bounce gives.

Why this works

The player judges a stomp by whether they came down on the enemy, not by where they ended up after a fast fall. Looking at where the feet were a moment earlier matches what was seen, and one bounce per landing keeps the reward readable.

When not to use it

Skip it for enemies that must not be jumped on, such as spiked or fiery ones, and for games without a hero who can jump. Mark those clearly, since the player will try, and let them hurt from every side.
