Player is blocked, sends label (#)GOOPTOUCHED

Goop is a MegaZeux built-in element. Goop is a special floor that the Player, most Robots, and several Enemies are not allowed to walk on. Goop is one of the two floors that Shark can move on, the other being Lava.
Usage
When touched by the Player, Goop will play SFX 48 (Goop), display the message "There is goop in your way!", and send every Robot the label (#)GOOPTOUCHED.
Goop can not be overwritten with Floor or Fire by an Explosion, but unlike most other Elements floor IDs, it does not immediately extinguish Fire placed on top of it (likely an oversight).
Goop is useful for creating pits that can only be crossed by projectiles and Robots using the GOOP_WALK counter, particularly if its ID char is changed to 255, which allows it to have any display character based on its parameter.
