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!

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.
