Sploder
was an online game creator. It originally focused on shooters, but then expanded its variety in games, focusing on physics puzzle games, platformer games, arcade-style games, and eventually multiplayer games.
It was shutdown on the 27th of April 2024 (Proof)
Tropes:
- Absurdly High Level Cap: The level cap for a Sploder user is 250, and higher levels allow them to create more complex games.
- Artifact Title: "Sploder" used to focus on shooters, but as mentioned above, it expanded its variety.
- Automatic New Game: Since Sploder doesn't have a full saving system yet, this applies to all games.
- Awesome, but Temporary: Some of the power-ups available in games utilize this feature, such as the time limit of the "atomic " power-up.
- Call a Hit Point a "Smeerp": In the Platformed creator some enemies are named rather peculiarly, such as a golem-like heavyweight called George, and a dragon-like creature called a Snarley.
- Capture the Flag: A game mode in the shooter.
- Digital Avatar: All members have a customizable cube-like avatar that can be created from an array of different options.
- Dual-World Gameplay: In the Physics Puzzle Game De Vacuo puzzles are often solved utilizing this feature.
- Genre Savvy: In the popular format "Don't trust the ..." games the player must be this to win.
- Head Swap: Once player-made graphics could be used in the Platformed creator, the player character could be changed with the only real difference being the appearance of the head.
- Hyperactive Sprite: Commonplace in more poorly made Physics Puzzle Games.
- Internet Jerk: Normally defied, since this is a kid-friendly website.
- Except for some instances where you can destroy a random character For the Evulz.
- Level Editor: All the creators with the exception of the Physics Puzzle creator function similarly to this.
- The Points Mean Nothing: Averted. Levels actually help you do more stuff on Sploder.
- Purely Aesthetic Gender: The female option for the player character in the Platformer creator makes no actual difference to the character in question, nor do any other aesthetic options.
- RPG Elements: The arcade-style games use in-game money to upgrade stats.
- With Sploder users, levels don't do much except allow you to create more complex and realistic games.
- Retraux: Some of the music is in chiptune, but some tunes avert this because they aren't.
- Scunthorpe Problem: The auto-censor replaces swear words with "splode". It also censors relatively mild things like "gay", "jerk" and "loser"- even though a common game mechanic in the Platformer game type is called a "closer" and many people refer to it as a "relsoc" to stop it from coming out as "csplode".
- Shout-Out: The SploderHeads multiplayer games may be a shout-out in general to Call of Duty and Angry Birds.
- Top-Down View: The shooter and algorithm games have this viewpoint.
- Video Game Objectives: Applicable to all the creators, the objective options are all what you'd expect from an online game.
- Xtreme Kool Letterz: The Power Gluv.
