Droping down platforms/ fall damage

I feel like the way you have to fall through stairs/platforms(jump then hit S to fall) is very clunky. I dont know if this is just me, but many times in game I will find a dungeon, then jump down a few platforms from holding S a bit to long and I will instantly die when I hit the ground. Either fall damage is kinda op or you should just have to hit S without jumping first to fall down platforms. Anyone else have thoughts on falling/droping through platforms?

 

You can also hold S first and then jump

 

I'd like it if they required you to hold jump to keep falling though, it'd be more intuitive for my feathered hand ^-^

 

Dropping from platforms does feel clunky, but I'm not sure why.

 

Holding S and hitting Space to fall, it would be more intuitive to hold Space to keep falling. it feels clunky because you hold S to allow you to fall when you press jump (instead of jumping up)
Having to let go of down is awkward for people, I'm not entirely sure why, could just be button placement.

 

yeah it should be hit S then space to fall. That would probably be a lot better.
