Well, I don't see any difference in design possibilities between the two 
approaches (a designer could surround the level by air or ground to get this 
effect), but it's important that the Pingus behave in ways that make sense to 
the player.

When I first played Lemmings, I remember being surprised and a little shocked 
that they would get killed simply by reaching the side of the level (what's 
killing them?). I think my expectation was that they would turn back.
