History VideoGame / EverybodyEditsFlash

[[AC:Kirby -- Slidey Minis]]
* NoPunctuationIsFunnier: Some of the signs have no punctuation just to show absurd the level is.

[[AC:M4nu -- TIME MACHINE MINIS]]
* DooWopProgression: There's a group of platforms with music blocks on them that play the Doo-Wop Progression in order.
* MusicalGameplay: There are piano blocks everywhere, placed in various patterns so that they harmonize when the player goes through them. For example, climbing a vine plays chromatic rising notes, and completing an section of the world plays a satisfying major chord. One part uses the DooWopProgression.
* TimeTravel: The player character ventures to various different eras, including TheFuture.

[[AC:NSFW Crew -- NSFW Easter Island]]
* EenieMeenieMinyMoai: There's an ElaborateUndergroundBase hidden both inside and under moai heads.
* ElaborateUndergroundBase: The level is about a large alien underground base under a few [[EenieMeenieMinyMoai moai]] statues.

[[AC:[=Sensei1=] -- 4 monster battles]]
* CriticalHit: Sometimes a player will do 2 damage instead of 1 towards an enemy.
* ExcusePlot: The plot is that somebody offers you a trophy if you can beat three monsters.
* OverworldNotToScale: The world map is rather small. Buildings aren't much bigger than the player, but they become properly-sized when entered. Inverted with some elements like ducks and pigs, which are clearly bigger than they realistically would be.
* RolePlayingGame: This level is done in a typical turn-based Role-Playing Game style.

* AscendedMeme: The user "Cow" made a nonsensical forum post filled with [[SillyAnimalSound mooing]], which was quickly closed and got lots of user attention. Six days later, the Moodonna [[NonPlayerCharacter NPC]] was added to the game with a description imitating the style of the forum thread:

* TypicalCartoonAnimalColors: Many [[DigitalAvatar smileys]] and [[NonPlayerCharacter NPCs]] in the game appear have the typical colors:
** The Cow smiley and Moodonna NPC represent all-brown cows.
** The Dog smiley appears all-brown, though this is avoided with the Laika smiley which has a streak of white down the middle of its face.
** The Fox smiley appears as a vibrant orange, as observed by its FlavorText.
** Froggy, the sole appearance of frogs in the game appears as green.
** The Lion smiley has a brown mane.
** The Raccoon smiley is gray with a darker gray around the eyes.

* PlatinumMakesEverythingShinier: The Platinum Spender smiley comes with a big [[NiceHat platinum hat]] with an animated glimmer.

* AndYourRewardIsClothes: Some of the rewards for [[RandomEvent randomly finding a magical coin]] were the various magic-themed smileys, which have no effect on the gameplay.
* AntiGrinding: Although magic was [[RandomEvent randomly rewarded]] from coins collected, it was deliberately designed to discourage players from farming for magic. The details of this are complex, but it's generally understood that worlds with more coins have a lesser chance of magic.

** In 2019, the ''Everybody Edits'' website's background was changed to an ''Everybody Edits Universe'' themed background, teasing the (now canceled) planned release many were waiting for at the time. In addition to a new, unbeatable campaign, many strange changes were made to the game, such as capes being added to smilies, certain sound effects being replaced with brief voice clips, [[https://forums.everybodyedits.com/viewtopic.php?id=45610 among others]].

* CallAHitPointASmeerp: "Woot" was the original term for what would be called a "like" in many games and websites. While it was replaced with the typical likes and favorites, the term remains on the game's {{fora}}.
* {{Cap}}: The cap for energy very easily shifted, and could overlap, so the cap is hard to define for this game. At the start, Energy was capped at 100 and later 200 in ''Everybody Edits'', but it can be increased in many ways. With these techniques combined, it could become rather high.
** Magic coins were always a source of boosting your energy cap. [=MrShoe's=] magic system could boost this to about +200. However, new magic was replaced with the original magic, making it a lot harder to increase it this way.
** Campaign rewards increased max energy, allowing for approximately +200 as the cap. However, the cap was not removed from new magic's removal, allowing people around for new magic and campaigns to get beyond +300.
** Winning official contests usually gave players a high max energy bonus.

* ChristmasEpisode: There has been a contest, a campaign, as well as many Christmas-related items released around December.

* DreamingOfAWhiteChristmas: The 2011 Christmas world and promotional video both had lots of snow in them.

* EndlessGame: The game would never end, as long as players keep making levels.
* ExperiencePoints: One of the former magic systems gave players experience points through magic coins.

* FlavorText: The energy shop had descriptions for most of its items, many of which were for flavor instead of being informational.
* GameLobby: The lobby was filled with worlds the player can join. It was possible to search and sort through the world list, as well as view [[LevelMapDisplay minimaps]] and descriptions for worlds that allow it.
* GamingClan: Supported by the in-game "crew" feature. Crews could have their own logos and worlds, and players in them could be given custom permissions and ranks. It was also possible for crews to send announcements to users who are subscribed to them.

* {{Microtransactions}}: Gems and Gold Membership could be bought with real money. These were removed in ''Everybody Edits Offline'', as all content in that version is free.
* NoFairCheating: While the game still had some hackers, it found a way to prevent the "moonjump" exploit. Campaign worlds had their own cheat detection system, preventing users from completing the level if they [[SequenceBreaking lack coins the player should have earlier in the level]].
* PlayEveryDay: The game encouraged people to play by giving them one unit of energy every 150 seconds, as well as a daily reward for logging in. These rewards increased over time, looping about once a month.
* RandomEvent: Collected coins had a small chance of being magic coins. These magic coins either increased the player's {{energy|Economy}} {{cap}} or gave the player a rare item.
* RevenueEnhancingDevices: A diamond block and the Big Spender smiley costed $100 and $50 respectively, having no purpose other than looking good and showing off. With the release of ''Everybody Edits Offline'', they became free.

*** The description for Laika was "In space, nobody can hear you bark," a reference to the TagLine of ''Film/{{Alien}}''.
*** The description for the Skelly NPC was "Feels a bit spooky, and just a little bit scary," a reference to the lyrics of the song "Spooky Scary Skeletons" by Music/AndrewGold.

*** The Starfish NPC description was "A star on top will complete all the scenery!", quoting Patrick Star in ''WesternAnimation/ChristmasWho'' who is also a pink starfish.

* SpecialEditionTitle: The game often changed the logo for HolidayMode or upcoming contests.

*** The Starfish NPC description was "A star on top will complete all the scenery!", quoting the pink starfish Patrick Star in ''WesternAnimation/ChristmasWho''.

** The Deep Thought [[NonPlayerCharacter NPC]] appears as a regular PC, and acts as a multi-layered reference to the super intelligent PC of the same name from ''Franchise/TheHitchhikersGuideToTheGalaxy''.
*** The NPC was obtained as an EasterEgg by collecting [[ArcNumber 42 gold coins, 42 blue coins, and 42 deaths]], a reference to Deep Thought's {{anticlama|x}}ctic answer of JustForFun/FortyTwo.

* ShoutOut: Several smilies are based off characters (or in one case, a [[NoCelebritiesWereHarmed real person]]). These include the Creator/{{Bruce|Campbell}}, Film/{{Frankenstein|1931}}, [[Literature/HowTheGrinchStoleChristmas Grinch]], [[VideoGame/PacMan purple ghost]], Franchise/{{Terminator}}, and Franchise/{{Superman}} smilies.

* AscendedMeme: Users jokingly called original design of the Astronaut Smiley the "Fishbowl Astronaut" on the official forums when they petitioned for its return. The Staff brought it back as the Fishbowl Helmet Smiley.

The game has had a [[TroubledDevelopment complex and rough development history]] over the years. In December 2020, the game had to be retired because of UsefulNotes/AdobeFlash's deprecation, and the game was given one final countdown.

While the original ''Everybody Edits'' is no longer playable, an offline version known as ''Everybody Edits Offline'' or ''Everybody Edits Legacy'' was released, containing the campaigns, some new features, and the ability to play worlds from the original version.

* NonStandardCharacterDesign: The Creator/{{Bruce|Campbell}} smiley is more realistic compared to the rest of the smilies (though still [[TheNoseless lacking a nose]]). Bruce, along with the Robot, Robot Mk II, Laika, and [[BedsheetGhost Purple Ghost]] smilies are the only smilies not to be round.

* OneHitPointWonder: A smiley explodes into a cloud of sparkles when hurt in any way.
* OurGhostsAreDifferent: The Purple Ghost smiley is an purple BedsheetGhost that's more odd than it is spooky.

* {{Retraux}}: Lots of the older packages are like this, quite a few of which based off ''VideoGame/SuperMarioWorld''. Notably, the plastic package and [[VideoGame/PacMan pink ghost smiley]] seem to be based off arcade games.
* SantaClaus: The Santa smiley comes with the famous red Santa hat, though it lacks a beard.

* SolidClouds: The Cloud pack comes with solid cloud platforms.
* SpaceZone: The Sci-Fi package and low-gravity worlds.
* SpikesOfDoom: Can be placed as a block, and will make smilies explode into sparkles on contact.
* StatusEffects: Poison, curse, and zombie effects will kill a smiley after a timer expires. Zombies are slowed down, jump lower, and infect nearby player characters, while {{curse}}s could cross from player to player.

* TypicalCartoonAnimalColors: Many [[DigitalAvatar smileys]] and [[NonPlayerCharacter NPCs]] in the game appear have the typical colors.

** The Fox smiley appears as a vibrant orange, which was pointed out in its FlavorText.

* WingsDoNothing: All smilies have the same abilities, and even the ones with wings can't fly without GodMode or certain effect blocks.

* CallAHitPointASmeerp: "Woot" was the original term for what would be called a "like" in many games. While it was replaced with the typical likes and favorites, the term remains on the game's {{fora}}.

* ThanksgivingEpisode: In 2011, American UsefulNotes/ThanksgivingDay came with the Indian and Pilgrim smilies.

* BlatantBurglar: The Robber [[DigitalAvatar smiley]] comes with a mask and a ski cap.

* ADogNamedDog: A few smilies are based off animals, and are all referred to their smiley names (with the exception of the "Moo Moo" smiley until it was renamed to Cow).

* BlackBeadEyes: Most of the [[DigitalAvatar smileys]] have black lines for eyes. The female smileys' eyes have a blue tint in them.

* NoFairCheating: ''Everybody Edits Offline'' restricts the player from using cheats like GodMode, [[LevelEditor editing]], or fake players.

* SantaClaus: The Santa smiley comes with the famous red Santa hat, though he lacks a beard.
* {{Satan}}: The Devil smiley has a grin and demon horns.

** The Nurse smiley wears a white hat and mask.

** If the player's death counter goes high enough ([[spoiler:nine-thousand]]), [[spoiler:a sound clip of Vegeta yelling "It's OVER NINE-THOUSAAAAAAAAAND!!" from ''Anime/DragonBallZ'' plays]]. Unsurprisingly, the addition of this resulted in a few automatic death worlds becoming popular for players interested in experiencing it.

* SuspendSave: Happens {{auto|Save}}matically in campaign worlds.

** Many of the shop descriptions were Shout-Outs:

*** The Elder NPC description was "It's dangerous to go alone...", a quote from the ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaI''.

* AscendedMeme: The user "Cow" made a nonsensical forum post filled with [[SillyAnimalSound mooing]], which was quickly closed and got lots of user attention. Six days later, the Moodonna [[NonPlayerCharacter NPC]] was added to the game with a description imitating the style of the forum thread:

(Clever users may realize that the URL of the latter has "rickroll" spelled out with several letters replaced with numbers.) This was eventually removed after the website temporarily went down for security reasons in August 2019.
** The hidden page source of the main website gave credit to users who helped make it. With the website's cleanup in August 2019, this was removed.

* ExperiencePoints: One of the former magic systems gave players experience points through magic coins.

* GameLobby: The lobby was filled with worlds the player can join. It was possible to search and sort through the world list, as well as view [[LevelMapDisplay minimaps]] and descriptions for worlds that allow it.
* GamingClan: Supported by the in-game "crew" feature. Crews could have their own logos and worlds, and players in them could be given custom permissions and ranks. It was also possible for crews to send announcements to users who are subscribed to them.
* HalloweenEpisode: Just like with Christmas, there have been many updates with a Halloween theme. Halloween also got three different campaigns, and a contest.
* LevelLockedLoot: For a brief period of time, many smileys could only be purchased by players with a high enough [[CharacterLevel magic level]]. Low level players who already had those smileys were simply unable to use them unless they leveled up.
* {{Microtransactions}}: Gems and Gold Membership could be bought with real money. These were removed in ''Everybody Edits Offline'', as all content in that version is free.
* NoFairCheating: While the game still had some hackers, it found a way to prevent the "moonjump" exploit. Campaign worlds had their own cheat detection system, preventing users from completing the level if they [[SequenceBreaking lack coins the player should have earlier in the level]].

** Many of the shop descriptions were Shout-Outs:
*** The Pipes package had a description that read, "Factory outlet or Italian plumbings?" referencing Mario from the ''Franchise/SuperMarioBros'' franchise who is usually characterized as an Italian plumber, as well as the large Warp Pipes used for [[TubeTravel travel]] in the series.

*** The Starfish NPC description was "A star on top will complete all the scenery!", quoting the pink starfish Patrick Star in ''WesternAnimation/ChristmasWho''.
** The 2011 Christmas world that introduces music blocks has an area where one can hear the first seven notes of the ''VideoGame/SuperMarioBros1'' overworld music, along with text that reads "It's-a-me, Mario!"
* SkillScoresAndPerks: Came with a higher max energy, more smilies and potions purchasable, and a shiny new badge. These were removed later in exchange for the classic magic system.
* TheSmurfettePrinciple: The Female smiley was the only smiley explicitly referenced as being female until the Lady and Summer Girl smilies were introduced.
* SpecialEditionTitle: The game often changed the logo for HolidayMode or upcoming contests.
* ThanksgivingEpisode: In 2011, American UsefulNotes/ThanksgivingDay came with the Indian and Pilgrim smilies.
* TutorialFailure: [=MrShoe's=] tutorial worlds didn't account for the addition of new blocks later. This results in an awkward situation where liquids, boost arrows, time doors, and several other blocks go unmentioned in the tutorials. The next tutorial, the Tutorial Campaign, seems to have been made with the future in mind—the third tutorial has an empty area just for later showcasing effects that would eventually be added to the game.
* VideoGameTutorial: In addition to the menu, campaign, and home world tutorials, there have been three tutorials throughout the game's history, including:
** The original tutorial world, showcasing {{gravity|screw}}, [[LevelEditor editing]], coin doors, and [[{{Teleportation}} portals]].
** The [=MrShoe=] tutorials, which came in three levels:
### Moving Tutorial, for moving, jumping, LadderPhysics, and [[FollowTheMoney coins]]
### Gravity Tutorial, for gravity arrows and dots, as well as portals
### Editing Tutorial, for editing worlds
* WreathedInFlames: The flame potion gave a ring of fire around a smiley as decoration before it was removed from the game. The fire graphic was later repurposed for the [[ManOnFire dangerous effects of lava]].
[[/folder]]

[[folder:''Everybody Edits Flash'' and ''Everybody Edits Offline'']]
* AmusementPark: The Carnival pack adds circus-themed blocks, encouraging players to make environments themed around it.
* ArbitraryHeadcountLimit: World owners were able to set a limit to zombies or curses in a world, meaning that [[ZombieApocalypse zombie worlds]] could have an arbitrary limit to smileys who are on the zombies' side.
* ArtsyBeret: The Artist smiley wears a beret.
* AscendedGlitch: Invisible portals and fully invisible blocks were originally usable from hacks. They were both eventually added to the game in a more user-friendly way.
* AscendedMeme: Users jokingly called original design of the Astronaut Smiley the "Fishbowl Astronaut" on the official forums when they petitioned for its return. The Staff brought it back as the Fishbowl Helmet Smiley.
* {{Autosave}}: Exiting a campaign world automatically creates a SuspendSave. When the game was still online, these saves were temporary.
* BedsheetGhost: The Purple Ghost appears as if it has a magenta sheet over it, with spikes at the bottom like the ghosts from ''VideoGame/PacMan''. It also has two BlackBeadEyes.
* BlatantBurglar: The Robber [[DigitalAvatar smiley]] comes with a mask and a ski cap.
* BubbleGloopSwamp: The Swamp Package has muddy liquid blocks that are slow to move in.
* {{Cap}}: Numbered switches, door blocks, and gate blocks were limited to 99 for years when introduced. This is possibly because the numbers seen on them would be wider than the sprite if increased to 999. Eventually the cap was increased to 999, and the digits were shrunken in width to compensate.
* CheckPoint: Checkpoints can placed in levels, activating on touch and returning the player character if they die.
* ChromeChampion: The Gold and Diamond [[DigitalAvatar smileys]] appear to be made of solid gold and diamond respectively.
* CityGuards: The Policeman smiley comes with a blue police cap, a serious expression, and a uniquely blue color on the LevelMapDisplay.
* ClassicalMovieVampire: The Vampire smiley has pale skin, visible fangs, a slicked VillainousWidowsPeak, and an OminousOperaCape.
* ColorCodedWizardry: The wizard smileys have colored headgear depending on the element they represent, though being {{Digital Avatar}}s we don't get to see their wizardry in action.
** The Wizard Smiley, being the first and having no particular element, has a typical [[RobeAndWizardHat blue pointy wizard hat]]. The Fire Wizard is a PaletteSwap of it with a [[FireIsRed red hat]] instead.
** The Dark Wizard has a mysterious [[PurpleIsTheNewBlack purple]] [[InTheHood hood]] that [[TheFaceless covers its face in shadow]].
** The Light Wizard has a white hat, [[OpaqueLenses white glasses]], and a white WizardBeard.
* ConspicuousTrenchcoat: The Spy smiley comes with the classic sunglasses and hat.
* ConvectionSchmonvection: Players don't even get hurt after touching solid lava blocks. The actual lava liquid requires multiple seconds for the player to burn up after touching it, and even then, one can put out the fire. It also works with fire, since [[HitboxDissonance the player can technically touch it without triggering its hitbox]].
* CoolCrown:
** The crown block gives the player a golden crown, though only one smiley can have it at once. In ''Everybody Edits Universe'', the crown was repurposed as a LevelGoal, and can't be worn.
** Winning a world gives the player a silver crown.
* {{Curse}}: The curse effect can be passed around smileys until the cursed victim dies from it.
* {{Cyborg}}: The Franchise/{{Terminator}} smiley has a face half-human (smiley?) and half-robot.
* DeathIsASlapOnTheWrist: There are no consequences for the player if their character dies, except a small two second wait while the [[DigitalAvatar smiley]] [[MadeOfExplodium explodes]] and respawns to the most recent {{checkpoint}}. How punishing this is depends on the world. Some worlds are rather cruel, giving the player [[CheckpointStarvation no checkpoints over long stretches of challenges]]. Others--especially the linear, [[NintendoHard very demanding]] types of worlds--will place a checkpoint after each challenge, meaning that checkpoints will sometimes bring the player back less than half a minute of play, or even a few seconds. These types of worlds can easily get a dedicated player hundreds, if not thousands of deaths in a single play session.
* DemBones: The Skeleton smiley and Skelly [[NonPlayerCharacter NPCs]] appear as living skeleton, though the smiley is just a skull since it lacks a body.
* DifficultButAwesome: Sometimes, difficult techniques can be used to get through an area of a world in a way not intended. For example, pulling off a 1×1 hook jump[[note]]basically a single-block hole in a wall, requiring the player to jump upward out of that hole at just the right moment to reach the top of the wall[[/note]] in some worlds allows the player to reach unintended areas. This is rather difficult though, and requires precise timing. Or ButtonMashing. Either way works.
* ADogNamedDog: A few smilies are based off animals, and are all referred to their smiley names (with the exception of the "Moo Moo" smiley until it was renamed to Cow).
* DressedToHeal:
** The Nurse smiley wears a white hat and mask.
** The Doctor smiley's defining feature is its head mirror.
* DressedToPlunder The Pirate smiley wears a classic black pirate hat.
* EasterEgg:

[[AC:Kefka -- Cool Cool Cavern]]
* MisbegottenMultiplayerMode: This world relies heavily on key-based puzzles, and features a contraption with many key gates at the beginning so that no-one can join the co-op segment if there are already players in it. This is quickly broken if the players in the co-op segment simply refuse to touch any keys.

These types of worlds can easily get a dedicated player hundreds, if not thousands of deaths in a single play session.

* StatusAilment: Poison, curse, and zombie effects will kill a smiley after a timer expires. Zombies are slowed down, jump lower, and infect nearby player characters, while {{curse}}s could cross from player to player.

* AliensSpeakingEnglish: [[https://everybodyedits.wordpress.com/2012/09/13/space-2/ A blog post]] shows off aliens who come in peace and have returned UsefulNotes/{{Laika}} to some smileys.

** In 2016, the game's [[DigitalAvatar smilies]] were all temporarily changed into blocks. In addition, the blog mentioned that a third FanBoy smiley could be gotten by collecting 100,000 blue coins in a world. (It's fake. Also, you couldn't place that many coins in one world without using a custom world through hacks or creation from a staff member.)

* SigningOffCatchPhrase: The blog used to end posts with "See you in the worlds!"

* SpeedStripes: While they don't appear in-game, the blog post introducing Boost Arrows shows the Daredevil smiley with this.

* NoFairCheating: ''Everybody Edits Offline'' restricts the player from using cheats like GodMode, [[LevelEditor editing]], or fake players.

* OneCurseLimit: A player can only have one curse at a time. Though, a player ''can'' be infected by poison or a zombie virus while having a curse.

* PlatinumMakesEverythingShinier: The Platinum Big Spender comes with a big [[NiceHat platinum hat]] with an animated glimmer.

* TertiarySexualCharacteristics: The Female, Summer Girl, and Lady smilies have these.

* WickedWitch: The Witch Smiley has green skin and a pointed hat.

While the original ''Everybody Edits'' is no longer playable, an offline version known as ''Everybody Edits Offline'' or ''Everybody Edits Legacy'' was released, containing the campaigns, some new features, and the ability to play worlds from the Flash version.
