You can compare [overlapX](https://photonstorm.github.io/phaser3-docs/Phaser.Physics.Arcade.Body.html#overlapX) and [overlapY](https://photonstorm.github.io/phaser3-docs/Phaser.Physics.Arcade.Body.html#overlapY) of the bodies, or check `player.body.velocity.y > 0`, or compare `center` of the bodies.
