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.
Bats are small, very social flying mammals. They may frequent caves or haunted houses.
Winged, usually flying creatures, many of which enjoy perching on branches and defecating on unfortunate victims below.
An insect with broad colorful wings.
An optical effect formed by beams of light contrasting against areas of shadow in the atmosphere. They are often simulated in video games through volumetric lighting.
Games that have been funded via public monetary contributions.
Darkness is used in games to restrict access, increase tension, or just to set a mood. Often the player has access to a light source that can mitigate its effect.
A former digital distribution service for PC, Mac, and Linux games.
A puzzle where you have to use your surroundings, i.e. "environment" in order to progress.
A scripted sequence or even an entire level where the player character is falling from a great height. Gameplay typically includes avoiding debris or battling enemies (or sometimes both).
This concept is for games where at least one of the main characters is female.
In games, fire can be an obstacle, a tool, a weapon, or a solution. Just don't play with it...unless you really want to.
A frog is a small and usually green amphibian that can swim, hop, and ribbit. Sadly, most of them aren't princes.
A digital distribution platform that focuses on providing DRM-free computer games, both old and new.
Some games, especially modern adventure games, feature hotspot highlighting where all visible interactive items on screen are highlighted by pressing a certain button.
Frozen water. Ice can be slippery and it can be fun for ice skating.
A bridge made using whatever is available at the moment; used as a method to cross obstacles, such as gaps or bodies of water.
Jumping puzzles are generally implemented in fast-paced action games as a way to slow down the progress of the player. Failure often results in certain death.
Games that were funded through Kickstarter.
Games that allow the player to choose which level to play next, rather than a fixed linear order.
A nocturnal bird of prey capable of turning its head 135 degrees in either direction.
The existence of a parallel world which can be traveled to and from, and may contain differences of varying degrees from its counterpart. Often, this concept consists of a Dark and Light World through which the player alternates.
Games nowadays take a long time to make and often they aren't the only things developing during the process. It has become common to list the babies that have been born during the development of any game.
Puzzles may need to be solved before the player can progress to the next section of the game. Often it may not be clear to players exactly what the puzzle is, or whether the an in-game items needs to be attained before it is even possible to solve it.
Crunchy frozen water fallen from the sky. Many games feature a snow world, a snow level, or otherwise-connected regions of wintery landscapes.
Squirrels are small rodents that have big bushy tails and a fondness for nuts. Characters can range from Nutty of Happy Tree Friends to Conker
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.
Games whose main character is so egotistical that the whole game just HAS to be named after them.

Video games contain a lot of activities for players to do underwater, from exploration to combat. Sometimes games treat water as simple low gravity movement, while other games treat underwater more realistically.
