Summary
Short summary describing this company.

Concepts

Single Word Titles
2
Games whose titles consist of a single word.
Sprite
2
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.
Game Over
2
Game Over originally appeared in pinball machines, and later, arcade machines. When players lose at a game, it is game over.
2D
2
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.
Non-Humanoid Protagonist
1
Some games feature protagonists that are not humanoid in nature. These are creatures that do not have human characteristics (i.e. stand on 2 legs, have 2 arms, a body and a head).
Caterpillar
1
The larval stage of a butterfly or moth.
High Score
1
In many games there is a ranking system, the players with the highest point value are listed in a "high score" table.
Side-Scrolling
1
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.
Jump
1
It's arguably the one move that symbolizes the medium to those outside it. The ability to jump, be it onto a building, a platform, or a skull, is one of the all time most important abilities ever put in a video game.
Currency
1
Currency has all forms in video games. It is used to buy characters, vehicles, weapons, and more.
