A hard landing hurts the legs and makes later jumps weaker

Survival games like lasting consequences: land badly and the legs suffer, so jumping gets worse until you rest. The tricky part is balance, because a harsh rule traps the player in a loop of injury, and a gentle one means nobody notices. Here are the leg rules with their thresholds and the way back.

Why this works

A single number can tell a whole story: how hurt the legs are. Letting it decide what a landing costs, how high the next jump goes and whether jumping works at all makes injury feel connected, and a floor keeps a limping player able to escape.

When not to use it

Wrong for fast action games where players fall often by design; being punished each time wears them down. It also upsets people when the cause is unclear. Show the injury plainly, or keep damage only for big falls.
