I do something like so :

type cloud_
x#
y#
z#
yvel#
endtype

type player_
x#
y#
z#
yvel#
endtype

global player as player_
dim cloud(10) as cloud_

have a kind of reverse gravity for the clouds and when the player collides with a cloud transfer his yvel# to the clouds yvel#. With the reverse gravity it would work similiar to the jump (but reversed)

Or you could use a physics plugin - DarkPhysics or Newton.

Since you are using cubes, instead of pre-made objects you cannot animate them. The easiest thing to do would be to have the cube scale down and slowly back up. Check out the object scaling functions.
