Release.priority

release.priority(n); turns on the automatic priority choice for the object n. The priority is set depending on the vertical coordinate of the object. This way, as an object moves down it approaches the viewer. See section Priority bands and control lines for a table of y coordinates and the associated priorities.

< y < priority 0   48 4 48   60 5 60   72 6 72   84 7 84   96 8 96   108 9 108   120 10 120   132 11 132   144 12 144   156 13 156   168 14

The effect is that as an object moves down it appears to approaches the player.
