Dashing

Dashing allows you to move around a bit quicker, and in combat can be used to make a quick dodge or make use of cover.

In addition to dodging as a mechanic, we've added a nice little trailing shadow effect that goes with it, to give a better feeling of speed and to add a bit of visual feedback.  The effect is achieved by grabbing a copy of the player's current sprite every so often, turning it black, and pinning it in place while having it fade out.  

Hopefully the little touched like this make the game feel more reactive and immersive!
