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.
Typically found in fighting games, combos are a series of strung-together moves.
Sometimes designers add old-school things on purpose to enhance game design. These games tend to be heavily inspired by hardware limitations of older systems. NES, Atari 2600, and early computer platforms (DOS, Commodore 64, MSX, etc...) are common sources of inspiration.
A remake/re-imagining of a game that uses lower fidelity assets, due to a deliberate design choice.
The concept of purchasing media and having it delivered over the internet. No physical representation of this content is given, and although the content resides on the user's hard drive they are typically granted a license to the product, rather than ownership of it.
Health is a value that gauges how much damage players can take in a game before they die or pass out. Also known as life in some games. Health is usually represented by a bar or a percentage instead of an exact amount. Found in most non sport games
“Indie” or “independently developed” games are video games which are developed by a studio without the support of an external publisher.
Games created using the Pixel Game Maker series of game development software.
Featured mainly in fighting games, special attacks usually require more than just pressing a button to activate. They are usually unique or at least varied between characters.
A two-dimensional image or animation overlaid into a scene. The foundation of early 2D games, making up everything from props to the player-controlled character.
A special combo-move in fighting games that is executable after building a meter throughout the match (or round).
An art style prevalent in anime in which a character or other item is rendered in smaller proportions in order to make it small, cute, and cuddly.
