Concept »

Games that are very graphically abstract, and don't strive to be realistic.

The Abstract Art Style wiki last edited by SaturdayNightSpecials on 04/29/13 12:51PM View full history

Abstract art style often employs a lot of lines and geometric shapes that don't resemble any real-life objects. For example, Geometry Wars, a game which uses nothing but lines and geometric shapes.

What is not abstract:

Abstract does not mean stylized or cartoony. Dictionary.com defines abstract as it relates to art style: "of or pertaining to the formal aspect of art, emphasizing lines, colors, generalized or geometrical forms, etc., esp. with reference to their relationship to one another". For something to be considered abstract it should not attempt to resemble anything realistic, even in a heavily stylized way.
