A missed jump over a chasm should put you back somewhere safe

Falling off the edge of the world after a failed jump is part of exploring, but being put back on the very edge, on a crumbling stone or in lava is cruel. Here is how to remember a place that was truly safe, when it counts, and what to do when there is none.

Why this works

The place a player just left is often the worst one to return to, because it is next to the edge or about to give way. A spot where they stood calmly for a while, away from the drop, is one they can truly continue from.

When not to use it

Skip it in a game about precise runs, where a fall should send the player back to a fixed checkpoint or the start of the level. A rescue to a spot of their own choosing would soften the challenge you want.
