It allows [[movable object]]s capable of pushing [[block]]s to push a block off of a tile that becomes solid when moved off of (at least briefly) while also following it. In short, it lets the player follow blocks [[flick]]ed off tiles under certain circumstances. It was first analyzed (and initially coined) by ncrecc. | ||
