Most side-scrollers have a control scheme where holding down the jump button gives you maximum height, while tapping it quickly gives you little hops. Right now there is no way to do little hops in this game. It would be nice.

To implement controls like this, though, means being able to continue accelerating upwards for some time *after* leaving the ground, as long as the space bar is still being held down, which is contrary to how the jump code currently works. So that will need to change.
