Running up a wall for a moment, once per landing

Running up a wall is a thrilling move that can break a level: climb forever, climb again after every touch, or start from a fall. Here is a version that gives a defined height, kicks you off at the end and cannot be repeated until the feet touch the ground.

Why this works

A move feels powerful when it is short and certain. A climb that starts fast and fades to nothing always gains the same height, so levels can be built around it, and allowing it once per landing stops walls from becoming endless ladders.

When not to use it

Wrong if climbing itself is the main activity; then give the player a real climbing system with grip and rest instead of a timed burst. Also wrong for games with no walls tall enough to matter.
