"When the player landed, the game reset both variables back to False."

Ok. And how to define that player landed?

Well, for example, you could check for y <= 0 and collisions with platforms, as I did it with Jump Game.

In my particular case I knew where the ground was at all times, so it wasn't hard to find. In a platform game you almost have to be tile-based. If you don't know where the ground is, you're going to have a hard go of things.
