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.
Games that have animals (except humans) as the main character. The character must be playable.
A type of gameplay where the main goal is to eat or collect a certain amount of stuff. At the same time, enemies will try to eat the player character.
Ahh, eating... We can't live without it, and, apparently, neither can some characters. From snakes to dots, games have odd ways of dishing out their dishes.
This concept is for games in which at least one of the main characters is male.
Ever since Pac-Man, games have had us navigating mazes.
Pixel art refers to digital images composed of visible pixels, drawn with individual pixel-level intent and precision.
Any character you can control in a game is a Player Character (PC), as opposed to a non-player character (NPC), which is a character that can only be controlled by the game.
Being able to travel off one side of the screen and in from the other side.
A level in which everything is displayed on-screen at once, with no scrolling, flip screen, or 3D movement. Many '80s games consist entirely of single-screen levels.
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.
Survival is a concept that signifies that the player's life is constantly in jeopardy.
Whether by item or otherwise, temporary invincibility provides the user a brief moment where they are impervious to attack.
"Vore" is an internet term for a sexual fetish for the act of a creature swallowing someone else whole while they are still alive. The act is also seen in many video games, in a decidedly less sexual manner.
