Advanced Platform Engine for GB Studio v2.0.0 Beta 5 is a free and open source project designed to bring new mechanics to the already awesome Platform mode in GB Studio. Many templates can be found in the project file which can be adapted on. All the engine changes can be found in the engine.json (custom engine fields), Platform.c (custom mechanisms such as double jump) and ScriptRunner_b.c (custom values for different direction and duration of projectiles).
It was a submission for Game Boy Competition 2021.

A demo ROM and source file can be downloaded on itch.io.
