</>What does Soft Landing do?
In Burglin' Gnomes a long drop does three unkind things at once. It takes a bite out of your health, it snaps both of your legs, and it dumps your gnome in a heap on the carpet at the worst possible moment. Soft Landing takes all three away. Step off the landing, drop from the top of the wardrobe, ride a falling bookcase down - you touch the floor and carry straight on walking, as if you had taken the stairs like a sensible person. It pairs nicely with Spring Loaded, which is very good at getting you somewhere high and not at all interested in how you get down. It works exactly the same whether you opened the lobby or joined a friend's - no host needed, and nobody else has to install anything. It also only ever covers your own gnome, so anyone else who fancies jumping off the roof still takes their tumble.

</>Common questions about Soft Landing
What does Soft Landing do in Burglin' Gnomes?
Soft Landing takes the punishment out of long drops in Burglin' Gnomes. Normally a big fall does three unkind things at once: it takes a bite out of your health, it snaps both of your gnome's legs, and it dumps you in a heap on the carpet at the worst possible moment. All three go away. Step off the landing, drop from the top of the wardrobe or ride a falling bookcase down, and you touch the floor and carry straight on walking as if you had taken the stairs like a sensible person.
Does Soft Landing stop broken legs as well as fall damage?
Yes - the broken legs are the bit people usually care about most. Losing health to a fall is annoying, but a gnome with two broken legs in Burglin' Gnomes is a gnome that is not getting the loot home, and the crumple onto the carpet costs you exactly the seconds that matter when something is coming down the hall. Soft Landing removes all three parts together: no health lost, no broken legs, and no heap on the floor. You land upright and keep whatever momentum you had.
Does Soft Landing cover other gnomes in the lobby?
No. Soft Landing only ever covers your own gnome, so anyone else in the Burglin' Gnomes lobby who fancies jumping off the roof still takes their tumble in full. The upside of that is it works the same whether you opened the lobby or joined a friend's game, and nobody else needs to install anything for you to use it. If you want the whole crew landing safely, everyone runs it themselves. If you would rather be the only gnome who can take the direct route down, that works too.
Is there anything to set up in Soft Landing?
Barely - it is a single switch, with no sliders and no thresholds to tune. On means long drops stop hurting you in Burglin' Gnomes; off means gravity goes back to its normal opinion of your gnome, immediately. There is nothing to calibrate for different heights either, so you do not need to work out how far is too far before you step off something. That makes it easy to leave on permanently as a quality-of-life switch, or to flip off for a run where taking the stairs is supposed to be a real decision.
How does Soft Landing pair with Spring Loaded?
They are two halves of the same idea. Spring Loaded for Burglin' Gnomes is very good at getting your gnome somewhere high and not remotely interested in how you get down again, which is how a triumphant roof entry turns into two broken legs on the patio. Soft Landing handles the second part. With both running you can leap onto a worktop, over a fence or onto the roof, then simply step off whichever side is closest to the loot. Chimney Drifter covers similar ground for flying, but this pairing keeps things physical.
