Potentially deadly in the real world, annoying and funny in the animated world.
Using pre-rendered clay figures to display environments, characters, and objects. Often used to comedic effect.
A character in a game who uses unorthodox moves, and who likes to play 'practical jokes' on opponents. This makes losing to him/her all the more humiliating.
A double jump is the ability to jump while already in mid-air to get some extra lift. In reality, double jumps are not possible and violate fundamental laws of physics.
Flattening is taking something three dimensional, and somehow making it very thin almost two dimensional. It can be used for comedic effect or a character to use it to fight through tight spaces.
Genies, which originated from Arabia, are supernatural creatures that are magical and many can grant wishes. Some have a lamp or bottle and the owner of said item has power over them, including forcing them back into it and making them stay there.
Gravity is a physical phenomenon, specifically the mutual attraction between all objects in the universe. In a gaming setting, gravity determines the relationship between the player and the "ground," preventing the player or game objects from flying off into space, and hopefully acting in a predictable/realistic manner.
Games with cartoony, colourful, happy art styles that involve a lot of bloodshed, violence and killing. Examples would be Castle Crashers, Team Fortress 2, Battlefield Heroes, Alien Hominid, Conker's Bad Fur Day...
A physics system used to procedurally generate body movement similar to rag dolls.
Whether it has voice over or not, text bubbles are a way of reading the dialog that a character on screen is saying and or thinking.
