Tall Character Stuck!

I made this guy under the scrolling platformer module, he's a 2x4 sprite. He won't move from where he lands and a piece of his head shows up in the corner of the screen? Is this because of the height? Am I stuck making tiny characters?

Do you screen has the flag "use gravity" set?
For the movements, have you assigned the movements scripts in the "Input Editor"? Which script have you assigned? could you share screenshots of the settings?
Your player object has a bounding box?

And most important... do your player has SPEED and ACCELERATION set?

The small head is a sprite... it could be a projectile, a weapon, any pickup item...
Do a right click and choose "reset placements" (to remove all the other game objects / monsters from the screen... and keep only the player object).

I got use gravity turned on, I set up the movement animations, the guy even walks but he stays in the exact same place. the bounding box covers him from head to toes but only through the rib cage, the arms are untouched by the hit box. And yeah, he has speed 20 and acceleration 05. Maybe I messed up the acceleration?

What about your input Scripts? Which ones did you use?
I suggest to use the ones in the simplePlatformer subfolder.

For the Player’s « Acceleration », try 100 or more. Then you can adjust for your game.
For the speed 20 might be enough.

It turns out I was messing with the settings for the IDLE state... Damn I feel so stupid... My skeleton dude moves just fine now, thank you very much. :D
The mysterious corner keeps popping up but meh... I guess I'll find a way to cover it.
Still testing! :D

Have you set your Sprite 0 settings ? (In the HUD & boxes)?
I think, not yet... so this head is your spite 0.
You need to set it correctly.
There is a tutorial video about the «  Sprite Zero ».
