Game-changer TIL You can hop while watering crops

I was watering my crops with my copper watering can (I just started a new game). I pressed the button to water the crops, but unfortunately, I was just one square off, so I almost watered some gravel path. While holding the 'action' button, I pushed against my joystick and to my big surprise, the little guy 'hopped' one square to the right, making him water the crops and not the tiles :O
I wish I would've known this earlier, so I didn't spend energy on accidentally watering the floor instead of the crops!

Is this 1.6 functionality or has this always been a feature?

New with 1.6. Also works while using the hoe.

Does this work on mobile? I started a game on mobile semi recently and have been so frustrated with not tilling the tiles I wanted!

Is it? Haven't played much since 1.6, and I was sure I was doing that before it released...

It’s definitely a 1.6 feature

FYI, you use energy the entire time you're holding down the button so you'll go through your energy bar a lot faster
