Subject: more quirky features
i've found these useful and interesting, so i
thought i'd share them:
* falling onto a ramp,
willy can apparently fall 5 squares without harm. well,
it's more like 4.75 squares, but it certainly looks
deadly until you do it
* jumping at the end of a
conveyor belt going the opposite way to you with solid
blocks above you. should i even try an ascii
diagram?

there, that probably came out facked but it's quite a
weird jump to do, you have to jump at the last tick or
you get pulled back (or fall holeward)
* when
a guadian patrols a platform, you may stand on the
platform with it in safety by walking to the edge of the
platform as far as you can and then facing willy back in
to the platform without moving. he's effectively
hovering in the air beside the platform. this makes
awkward screens much easier and is essential in some of
my new rooms.
i found a few more which i'll
post later.
