Games which seek to lead the player on a journey through an uncertain and challenging world.

Uses two-dimensional "sprites", 2D images created and used on a flat plane, as opposed to the three-dimensional models or environments found in 3D games.

Simple, fast-paced games with colorful graphics and catchy audio, that require few or no explanations, can be played in short bursts, and usually require a lot of skill. Similar in style and spirit with the arcade game cabinets of the 80s and 90s.

Games where the primary goal is keeping the player character alive under harsh circumstances such as dwindling resources or a hostile environment.
