Animations are motion sequences that are used in video games to make characters, objects or environments appear alive and realistic. They ensure that characters can run, jump, fight or interact with the game world.

Bots are computer-controlled characters or opponents in gaming. They are often used to enhance the gaming experience when no human players are available or to increase the level of difficulty.

In competitive games, however, bots can also be perceived negatively if they are used by players to perform automated tasks or cheats, such as farming resources or exploiting game bugs.

Browsergames can be played directly free of charge in the browser without having to download the game or program logic. They can be built completely platform-independent on HTML or for multimedia support with plug-ins such as Flash or Unity.

A "bug" is an unwanted error or defect in a video game that leads to unforeseen behavior. Bugs can manifest themselves in different ways, such as graphic errors, unexpected crashes or incorrectly reacting game functions.

Casual games are games for every occasion that do not require a long explanation, are easy to use and promise quick and direct success.

Cheats are special codes, inputs or modifications that give players unfair advantages in video games or change certain game mechanics. They can be used to make the game easier, e.g. through invulnerability, unlimited resources or skipping levels.

These surprises are often difficult to find and require the player to perform special actions or explore unusual areas of the game. They often serve as a nod to pop culture, previous games or inside jokes from the developers.

The term is derived from the tradition of the Easter egg hunt, where the aim is to find hidden objects. We occasionally reveal our Easter eggs in our blog.

Farming in virtual games refers to the repeated collection of resources, items or experience points by repeatedly completing the same tasks (or defeating certain opponents).

A game engine is the technical basis on which video games are developed. It provides developers with tools and resources to integrate graphics, animations, artificial intelligence and sounds.

Famous game engines such as the Unreal Engine, Unity or the Frostbite Engine have enabled both large studios and indie developers to create impressive games. Pre-built features allow developers to work more efficiently and focus on design and content instead of programming basic technologies from scratch.

Gameplay refers to the entirety of the gaming experience and mechanics that make up a game. It includes elements such as controls, level design, challenges, interactions and the progression system.

A game with good gameplay offers a balanced mix of challenge and reward that engages and motivates the player. Gameplay can be divided into different categories such as core gameplay (central mechanics) or meta gameplay (strategies and long-term goals).

A glitch is an unexpected error in a gamethat often leads to unusual behavior. In contrast to bugs, which can cause serious problems, glitches are often minor, temporary glitches that do not make the game unplayable, but can have strange effects. Examples of glitches are graphic errors, a character getting stuck in objects or the unintentional traversal of walls. You can report such bugs to our support team.

Some glitches can be exploited by players to gain advantages. This is then called an „exploit“.

Grinding in games describes the repeated completion of certain tasks or actions in order to achieve progress, such as collecting experience points, resources or items. It is particularly typical for role-playing games and online multiplayer games.

A guild (see also clan) is an organized group of players in multiplayer or online games who work together to achieve common goals. These goals can include completing dungeons, PvP battles or collecting resources.

Guilds offer social interaction, support and strategies to better master the challenges of the game. Many guilds have hierarchies, ranking systems and communication channels to coordinate their members and strengthen the sense of community.

Our farm games, our hidden object game and our zoo games also have guilds.

Just like browser games and online games in general, HTML games do not require a download or any other supporting plug-ins such as Unity or Flash, but can be played completely platform-independently. The game data and actions are processed and stored entirely on the server side and do not place any load on the player's hardware.

The new HTML5 specification now also makes it possible to develop graphically high-quality, animated games.

The HUD (Heads-Up Display)is the user interface in video games that shows players important information during the game without interrupting the flow of the game. The HUD is central to the gaming experience, as it displays important data clearly without interfering with immersion in the game world.

An NPC, short for "Non-Player Character", is a character in a video game that is not controlled by the player, but by the game's AI (artificial intelligence). NPCs can take on different roles, such as allies, enemies or neutral characters. They often serve as quest givers, merchants or sources of information.

Although NPCs are not directly controlled by the player, they often interact with the player or their character and can influence the game experience through dialog, actions or reactions.

Almost all upjers games have NPCs. Have a look in the browser games or games apps category.

An offline mode allows players to play the game without an internet connection. This function is particularly useful in mobile games to be able to continue playing on the move or in areas with a poor connection. Certain functions such as access to multiplayer features are often restricted in offline mode.

The online community of a game includes all players who exchange information via social networks, forums or other platforms. It also allows the manufacturer to share relevant information, tips, questions and events more actively with others. An active community can be fostered through dedicated forums and social media pages. This also allows players to better connect and exchange information with each other.

Regular patches are common in online games to maintain the game and improve the gaming experience over time. We report in detail about our patches in the games in the forum.

Ping describes the time it takes for a data packet to travel from the device to the player:get inside to a server and back again. This time is measured in milliseconds (ms).

A low ping means faster data transmission and therefore a responsive, smooth connection to the game server. A high ping, on the other hand, leads to delays, also known as "latency" or "lag". This delay is particularly problematic in online games such as shooters or real-time strategy games.
