Yes, although the number of effects you can get with it is more
limited than you might imagine. As well as the conveyor ramp:
-You could combine the ramps and the air blocks, making Willy move in
a jerky, spasming way whenever he walks in the direction of the ramp
-You could rig up the water blocks to be ramps or conveyors, meaning
you could have more than one in a room (you can set up the earth
blocks to do this as well, but the overall effect is different -
DIAMOND BOZY in We Pretty has a ramp/earth block hybrid, which makes
for slow progress walking across the room)
-You can combine the air and conveyor blocks, although I can't off
the top of my head remember exactly how it affects Willy
You can of course combine the fire blocks with anything, although why
you'd want to I don't know. I've never tried combining Earth or Water
blocks with Air, so I don't know how that would turn out. Also,
combining Earth and Water blocks can be done, but it's not much use
in my experience.
