You are right, the people who spawn at the bottom or the people who can't resist the urge to bounce would either have to accept a significant head-on disadvantage, or they would have to try to only use a reentry point that isn't being guarded.

I'm not going to edit it right now, but when I do I'm either going to add 1 or 2 higher-up vertical or diagonal springs to give ducks trying to get back up to solid ground a better chance to surpise people guarding, or maybe have 1 or 2 items like armor or something that can only be obtained while on the springs.

Your criticisms are very smart, thank you again.

I don't like springs for 1 reason - once duck is in launched into air, it can't control speed.
Someone aiming from near platform can get easy kill, and prey cant dodge it :-(
