Text is WIN? (Potential spoiler)

[targetcreature]

Any insight on why “Text is WIN” doesn’t work on Island-5 (Victory Springs)?

Text itself has different properties from normal objects. It is not written in levels but at default there is TEXT IS PUSH, which blocks other objects (like You) and goal is to make You touch Win.

Because you have to be on the same tile as a "win" object to win, and since text is push, you can't be on the same tile as text at all in this level.

I think it's because text is always solid and pushable. It seems like all the puzzles require you to be or be on top of the win condition.

OK cool, thanks all. Still seems a bit wonky since Flag can be PUSH and WIN, but I think I get the general distinction.

[LupisLight]

For the record, ANYTHING can be PUSH and WIN (Including text which is PUSH by default). The catch is that you cannot enter a tile with an object that is PUSH, you will just push it, and if it can't be pushed in that direction then it will just act as STOP.

That said, an object with PUSH can be pushed onto you, which will finish the puzzle if it is also WIN! (unless for some reason YOU are STOP, of course...)

Isn't it neat how all these different rules can combine into new challenges or solutions?

Seems less "neat" and more "frustratingly arbitrary", but ok
