Sure, these days have almost every game sporting the newfangled 3D, but way back when, everyone had to live with plain old 2D. 2D, or two dimensions, limit the game to scrolling backgrounds, but some games even now make use of this basic concept.
Bosses are enemies that fight you at the end of a level or at a significant point in the story.
A boss fight is a culminating challenge that pits the player against one or more enemies representing a greater threat and/or difficulty than those previously faced. These scenarios typically feature unique antagonists.
Feline animals commonly kept as pets. There are many different breeds and varieties.
Currency has all forms in video games. It is used to buy characters, vehicles, weapons, and more.
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.
This concept is for games where at least one of the main characters is female.
The last boss you face in a game, usually representing the final climax of the game.
Weapons that use a freezing effect to damage opponents, slow them up, or freeze them solid.
Pixel art refers to digital images composed of visible pixels, drawn with individual pixel-level intent and precision.
A style of action-adventure gameplay revolving around exploring a labyrinth with the necessity of locating new items and equipment to progress beyond otherwise impassable obstacles. The concept is named for its common usage in the Metroid and Castlevania franchises. While the term most commonly refers to 2D games, it can also refer to 3D games.
Side-scrolling games present the world as viewed perpendicular to the direction the characters are facing on screen. With a heavy focus on lateral movement, objectives are often met by moving from one end of a stage to the other.
Games whose titles consist of a single word.
A digital distribution service owned by Valve Corporation. Originally created to distribute Valve's own games, Steam has since become the de facto standard for digital distribution of PC games.
Valve's counterpart to Microsoft's popular achievement system.
Steam Trading Cards is a built in feature in the Steam client. It lets users collect cards from certain games and trade them and receive rewards for complete sets.
Propelling oneself with kinetic usage of limbs while submerged in liquid (or otherwise fluid material).
Witches are women who can perform magic. There can be good witches and bad witches.
A viewable map that displays the entire game world. The map also usually shows the player's location in the world.
