The jump stops dead when the head just clips the corner of a block

Players aim a jump through a gap and bump the edge of the ceiling by a few pixels, losing all their height. A small correction slides them past instead. Here is how much to forgive and why the direction matters.

Why this works

When a head only just clips an edge, the player sees a clear path and feels cheated by a stop. Moving the hero by a small amount lets the game follow what the eye saw, but only if the shift is small enough not to look like a jump.

When not to use it

Skip it in a game where the exact body shape is the puzzle, such as squeezing through tight gaps, or where ceilings are meant to be hazards. A nudge there moves the hero somewhere the player did not choose. Use a bigger forgiving shape instead.
