-Behaviors add extra capabilities to objects. All objects can have one or more behaviors attached to it.+In GDevelop, _behaviors_ add features to [[gdevelop5:objects|objects]]. For example, the [[gdevelop5:behaviors:platformer|Platformer character]] behavior makes an object behave as a playable character in a platforming game. This lets the player control the object with their keyboard and makes the object affected by gravity.
