Context PlayingWith / CollisionDamage

Go To

1'''Basic Trope''': Mere contact with an enemy does damage to the player character.
2* '''Straight''': Bob, the player character, takes damage whenever he makes contact with a slime.
3* '''Exaggerated''':
4** Contact with a slime results in a OneHitKill.
5** Due to HitboxDissonance, Bob can take damage just from getting too close to the slime even if their sprites make no contact.
6* '''Downplayed''':
7** Bob only takes damage if the contact lasts longer than two seconds.
8** Due to HitboxDissonance, Bob's sprite and the enemy's sprite can safely overlap as long as their hitboxes don't make contact.
9** Bob takes ScratchDamage when he runs into a slime.
10* '''Justified''':
11** Slimes' bodies are made of a substance that's toxic to humans.
12** Bob ran too fast when he collided.
13* '''Inverted''':
14** Enemies take damage from contact with Bob.
15** Bob recovers health when making contact with a slime.
16* '''Subverted''': Spike balls show up as enemies, but when Bob walks into one, he takes no damage.
17* '''Double Subverted''': The game was lagging, and the damage is dealt a few seconds later.
18* '''Parodied''': An enemy simply walks up to Bob [[CherryTapping and taps his shoulder]]. Bob ''explodes''.
19* '''Zig-Zagged''': The game has inconsistent rules as to when contact damage applies and when it doesn't.
20* '''Averted''':
21** Nothing happens from mere contact between Bob and enemies as long as neither is using an attack.
22** Due to the way the game is designed, contact between Bob and the enemies is impossible; they can only hit each other with projectiles.
23* '''Enforced''': The developers couldn't give an attack animation to the slimes, so they just settled for making them always do damage on contact.
24* '''Lampshaded''': "How do you do that? You aren't attacking!"
25* '''Invoked''': An enemy wizard casts a damaging aura around the other enemies.
26* '''Exploited''': After getting hit by a slime, Bob uses the resulting [[MercyInvincibility invincible frames]] to walk across SpikesOfDoom.
27* '''Defied''': Bob uses a potion that temporarily makes him ghostly, allowing him to walk through enemies without taking damage.
28* '''Discussed''': "Keep your distance from slimes, Bob, their bodies are toxic and will harm you on contact".
29* '''Conversed''': ???
30* '''Implied''': ???
31* '''Deconstructed''': ???
32* '''Reconstructed''': Bob uses an InvincibilityPowerUp
33* '''Played for Laughs''': ???
34* '''Played for Drama''': ???
