Float: Hold SPACE to rise slowly; essential for navigating gaps
Scrolling Engine: Based on @griffpatch's widely used tutorial system
Music: Original compositions by the creator ("Roundtrip to the Moon", "Aetherian") made in Soundtrap
Sound Effects: Sourced from freesound.org + Scratch library

Creator notes: Advanced floating effects were lost due to unsaved progress; current version is simpler than originally planned. Despite this, The Scientist 2 offers a solid foundation for ability experimentation and scrolling level design.
