I think this is a problem with the on_input function and not a bug. The way you check for actions can cause unexpected problems.
For example when you check for if action_id ~= hash(“jump”), you technically accept all inputs as long as they are not the jump input (which is space)

When you move your mouse, that is an input. Your code checks if it is the jump input, it is not. So, it enters the first if statement. Then checks if it is the right input, as it is not, it treats the mouse as left action and move your player to the left. Instead of using “~= hash(“jump)”, you should use

if action_id == hash(“right) or action_id == hash(“left”) then

The internal part can stay the same.

Make sure to apply this approach to all input logic as “not equal to” check is not the correct way here :slight_smile:
