What is `pushover`

pushover is:

This is a fun puzzle game originally published by Ocean in 1992. In this game you control an ant that can walk along platforms that are connected with ladders. On those platforms are dominos that need to fall according to some rules.

All dominos must fall and none must crash into another
One special domino must fall as last domino and that domino triggers the exit door to open when you enter the exit door the level has been completed
You may rearrange as many dominos as you want, except for the trigger. You may not place dominos in front of the doors, except for the vanishing domino.
You may push once to start a chain reaction with the dominos leading to the fall of all of them
All this has to be done within a time limit (which is normally generous)
There are 10 different dominos that behave differently when pushed, some fall, some not, some wait a bit before they fall, some raise, some toppler until they meet an obstacle
There is a help in the game and introductory levels that show how all the dominos work
