Platform

Further information: Platform games

This action subgenre typically entails side-scrolling levels with the player jumping or climbing from one on-screen platform to the next.

Adventure

Further information: Action adventure games and Adventure game

Puzzle

Puzzle games consist primarily of solving some form of puzzle. This may involve placing blocks into a form in specified patterns, like Tetris, or any of a number of other challenges. The player may need to perform actions in a specified time limit, or may have unlimited time to act, and the game mechanics may allow for multiple players, but the main focus is solving the puzzle. For games that balance puzzle elements with platform elements (like Lemmings or The Lost Vikings), look for the puzzle subgenre under Platform games.
