Checkpoints, Recovery Zones & Fair Resets
Design fair recovery and checkpoint-style safe zones in Build an ASMR Tower obbies — landing pads, WYR rejoins, and mobile-friendly reset points on Roblox.

Checkpoints in a Builder Tycoon
Build an ASMR Tower by +100 is a builder tycoon — you design the obby other players climb. Unlike climb-only games such as ASMR Tower by 3 Studio, there is no automatic checkpoint system unless you build recovery into your layout. Fair towers use wide platforms, slime recovery pads, and honest WYR labeling so falls feel recoverable without rage-quitting.
Think of checkpoints as psychological save points: a visitor who falls from floor twelve should not replay eleven floors of identical jumps unless you intentionally built a hardcore route. Most public plots on the +100 map use soft recovery every three to five obstacle segments.
Your Teleporter helps you test as the builder — it does not grant visitors checkpoint saves. Design for climbers, not just your own testing convenience.
Recovery Platform Standards
Minimum landing size: One full Platform block width after ball jumps, wall hops, and narrow beams. Mobile Roblox needs extra margin — if you clear a jump on PC with mouse precision, assume mobile needs 20% more footing.
Slime key recovery pads: Place slime ASMR keys on rest platforms between difficulty spikes. The soft squish audio signals "safe zone" even without a UI checkpoint banner. Pair with visible Paint Bucket color changes.
Post-fall rejoin: If your tower uses kill bricks, place the next valid spawn platform immediately after the hazard with a clear sightline — hidden rejoin paths feel like softlocks. See beatable obby guide for full fairness checklist.
WYR Branches and Rejoin Points
Would You Rather splits need recovery on both branches before they merge back to the main spine. Build the easy branch first with forgiving platforms every two jumps. Hard branch gets tighter beams but still requires a slime or platform rest before rejoin.
Never place a WYR door mid-jump without a platform approach — visitors cannot read choices while airborne. Sign both options with color strips or text blocks visible from the approach angle.
After branches merge, add one recovery platform before the next difficulty spike. Details on door placement: WYR doors guide and build WYR page.
Testing Checkpoints Before Going Public
Solo test: Climb from spawn without Teleporter at least once per major revision. Note every fall that sends you back more than five segments — add recovery there.
Friend test: Invite one mobile and one PC player. Watch where they quit — that floor needs wider landings or slime recovery, not more kill bricks.
Income balance: Recovery platforms can still carry income blocks underneath decorative slime keys. Use the income calculator so fairness upgrades do not bankrupt your Truss savings plan.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does Build an ASMR Tower have auto checkpoints?
Not like climb obbies — you design recovery platforms and fair fall paths yourself.
How often should I place recovery platforms?
Every three to five obstacle segments on public towers; more often on mobile-heavy servers.
Are slime keys good checkpoint markers?
Yes — soft audio and visual contrast signal safe zones without UI text.
Should both WYR branches have recovery?
Always — one unfair branch kills retention even if the other path is easy.
Does Teleporter count as a visitor checkpoint?
No — Teleporter is builder-only testing. Climbers need physical recovery platforms.
