Glider Launcher
Description
Added in	Full Game release
Item type	Prefab Buildings

The Glider Launcher is a prefab structure allowing players to be thrown at great heights, generally to use the Portable Glider.

Gameplay

Functionning similarily to the Spring Trap, the Glider Launcher will catapult upward any player that steps onto it. Normally, players can be thrown up to 40 meters in height, or exactly 15 floors. However, it is possible to execute much higher jumps by jumping simultaneously with the launcher going off, allowing players to reach a height of 75 meters. Jumping on the launcher while riding a Knight V will allow the player to reach up to an astonishing 350 meters. NPCs stepping on a Glider Launcher will be affected as if they stepped on a Spring Trap.

After each use, the Glider Launcher must be re-armed. Although the Glider Launcher will throw the player high enough for the glider to deploy, it will however be rarely sufficient to cover much distance unless the player gains altitude afterward, or if the launcher has been built on an already elevated position. Although the Glider Launcher schematic includes a log platform, the shells can be removed afterward and placed on any other flat surface.
