Jumping on a steep hill should not launch you sideways or into the slope

On open terrain hills are everywhere, and a jump that ignores the slope behaves strangely: straight up lands you uphill and feels sticky, along the surface flings you off the side. Here is a way to aim the jump so it feels the same height everywhere, and where it must refuse.

Why this works

A hill should change where you go, not how high you jump. Leaning the push a little away from the slope keeps the launch from driving into the ground, while keeping the rise equal to flat ground means levels stay fair everywhere.

When not to use it

Not needed on flat or tile-based levels, and wrong when slopes should be treacherous on purpose, such as ice or loose scree. There, the slope itself is the challenge; let the jump behave the same as on flat ground and let the surface slide.
