It’s curious to wonder why Alstom, the maker of these trains, don’t track when passengers press the button just before the tone sounds. It happens quite often: they press it a second too early, stand there in front of the closed doors, press it again, and the doors open. Need to hire more game devs.

I ran out of characters but the better platformers like Celeste allow the player to press the jump button just before the character lands on a solid, and it still registers it as a jump. That’s what I was alluding to with that game dev remark.
