Water wall

A water wall is a square completely full of water, with no top or bottom.

Generation

The Plane of Water is composed entirely of water walls, with a few air bubbles moving through it. Water walls can also generate in special levels such as the Big Room.

Description

Water walls are functionally similar to moat squares, in that they can't be frozen or boiled away. Outside the Plane of Water, pushing a boulder into one can still remove it.

Levitation, flight, and water walking boots do not function inside water walls. Walking into one will always submerge you, with the same effect as walking into a moat.

Strategy

The Plane of Water strategy section describes how to traverse that level. Outside that situation, the best way to deal with water walls is to avoid them.
