Force floor: Difference between revisions

[[Image:Force Floor E.png]] A '''force floor''' is a [[sliding tile]] that differs from [[ice]] in two different ways. Unlike ice, the direction of a force floor is determined by the direction of its contours, and Chip can step off force floors in ''any'' legal direction when specific conditions apply.

In [[Lynx]], Chip is more limited than in MS: only when he was previously on another force floor can Chip override, and he can never override backwards. Chip can walk on force floors the same way he walks on ordinary floors with a pair of [[suction boots]], but at the expense of moving at only 5 [[m/s]]. If Chip, a monster or a block starts the level on a force floor, it will start sliding immediately. Also, like on ice, [[blob]]s slide at half of the speed of other creatures.

In [[Chip's Challenge 2]], force floors generally behave like in Lynx, but with a few differences. Backwards overrides are possible when the first sliding tile Chip or Melinda entered is another force floor. [[Rover]]s, like blobs, slide at half the speed of other creatures. Ghosts treat force floors as [[acting floors]], regardless of whether they have [[suction boots]] or not. [[Speed boots]] have no impact on sliding speed. If Chip or Melinda atempt to move backwards on a long slide, they will remain largely motionless, staying on only two tiles like in MS.

Force floors that are shaped in a spiral-like formation are ''random'' force floors, which take Chip and [[block]]s in a random direction; [[monster]]s treat random force floors as acting walls in the MS ruleset only. Its override conditions are identical to normal force floors. In Lynx, random force floors circle clockwise in their chosen direction.
