Edge is a Puzzle Platformer developed and published by French studio Mobigame, where the player pilots a cube through mazes. It was originally released in 2008 for iOS, with later ports for PC (through Steam), consoles, and Android, some of which were developed and published by Dutch studio Two Tribes.
Edge contains examples of the following tropes:
- 100% Completion: There are prisms to collect.
- Everything's Better with Rainbows: The Player Cube is rainbow, the Prisms are rainbow and the Menus and result screen had some rainbow parts. (Including the S and S+ grades)
- Exactly What It Says on the Tin: One of the levels is called "Speedrun". In that level, there are platforms that move in such a way that just idling makes you move. It's a speedrun indeed.
- Guide Dang It!: Some of the prisms are very well hidden.
- Schmuck Bait: One of the titles of the level is "don't click!". Most people still do. Ignoring this advice nine times yields an achievement.
- Shout-Out:
- The level "indy" is very obviously inspired by Indiana Jones movies. Traps include boulders, buttons on the floor that send stuff to kill you, etc.
- The "invaders" level contains reincarnations of some Space Invaders sprites. You even get an achievement for climbing onto the top of one.
- Sizeshifter: Some special tiles shrink the cube to one twenty-seventh of its original size. This somehow allows the cube to wall-climb and enter small passageways.
- Temporary Platform: Some of the platforms fall after rolling on them.
