Hello developers,
So I am planning on changing up a few things on an obby I’m working on. Whenever the player touches a lava block, should they wait 3 seconds to respawn at the checkpoint they were at, or whenever they touch a lava block they should teleport to the checkpoint they were at. Please vote. If this is in the wrong category, please let me know so I can fix it.

Teleport player to checkpoint when they touch a lava block
When a player touches a lava block, they wait 3 seconds then they respawn.
Many developers think that having instant respawn for games is a good thing, because it “get’s the player back in.”
However, from what I have seen, having a regular spawn time will make the players more focused on trying the level to the best of their ability, because a respawn time imposes a “punishment” for not doing well. Not dying gives a greater sense of accomplishment because no such punishments were received, so overall your ratings and playtime will do MUCH better.
