Platform

Oh? Is this one not as big and, therefore, not as good? Figures...

Hym "Oh is this not a real platform? Oh well! I guess I'll hop on tik tok and see if I can dance so good they make me a Fire Emblem character. Oh wait! I already am that. Is that what you all want? Does the literally anime character that lives on urban dictionary not have enough reach for you? Because I see how Denzel Washington and Ricky Gervais are always quoting those super famous tik tokers all the time so I think what I should do is hop on a REAL platform because that way I'll be a legitimate guy."

Multi-Platform Simp

A fail troll insult used by console fanboys to shame gamers who play on multiple gaming consoles and possibly PC.

The multi-platform simps got cucked by the great Phil Spencer because there was no mention of Halo or Xbox Game Pass going to Nintendo Switch.

Ability-Gated Exploration Platformer

An ability-gated exploration platformer (AGEP) is a genre term for a video game that is heavily based around exploration and non-linearity, with certain areas generally inaccessible without upgrades or new unlockable abilities.

The game space is often open-world or semi-open, and involves encountering obstacles that the player cannot usually overcome without later backtracking. This is the generic term for the genre more popularly known as "Metroidvania" or "Zeldavania."

I'm working on a new game. It's an ability-gated exploration platformer inspired by Dead Cells and Guacamelee!

platform

A gaming term that also merges two meanings: it refers to a synonym for the "side scroller" genre, where the gameplay involves moving sideways through levels, and the console or operating system on which a video game is played.

Whether you're playing on a console or PC, the platform can greatly affect your gaming experience, especially in side scrollers!
