9	!!As a building MMO that has evolved greatly since its inception, there are many tropes to be found in this game:
10
11	* ArtEvolution: Compare the old promotional art from 2012 to the promo art from 2018.
12	* BuiltWithLego: Everything is made out of blocks and polygons. In fact, the low polygon count is likely the reason why it runs so well on potato computers.
13	* CharacterCustomization: You can make your avatar look like anything you want, albeit with cube limitations.
14	** There exists avatars that look exactly like low-poly Rick Sanchez and {{VideoGame/Sonic The Hedgehog}}.
15	%% * ChubbyMamaSkinnyPapa: Inverted with the two main default humans. Blockboy is chubby, while Sword Girl is much slimmer.
16	* ColorCodedArmies: On pretty much all of the War games.
17	* DualWielding: Dual guns is a weapon.
18	* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: In 2011, the player avatars weren't made out of cubes, unlike the environment.
19	** That year, Multiverse released [[https://m.facebook.com/Kogamians/photos/a.233072520082937/236733946383461/?type=3&source=54 concept art]] of cuter and more-colorful robot avatars, which would be abandoned early on, in favor of the cube avatars all players use to this day.
20	* FallingDamage: Falling from a great height will make your character die and respawn.
21	* FingerlessHands: Most of the human characters end up having these due to block limitations.
22	* KillItWithFire: There is a flamethrower weapon.
23	* MeaningfulName: “Kogama” is short for for '''Co'''operative '''Ga'''me '''Ma'''ker [[note]]The C was changed to a K because Cogama was already copyrighted.[[/note]]
24	%% * NintendoHard: Some parkour maps can be this.
25	* PlanetOfSteves:
26	** Every Tourist server is this, as a result of Tourists only being able to play with other Tourists.
27	** In early 2012, all of the players were Blockboys.
28	* PlayerVersusPlayer: There is a PVP mechanic. This is used to create battleground maps.
29	* PressXToDie: If you press the K key in-game, your character will die and be sent back to a spawnpoint/checkpoint.
30	* ProductPlacement: The Brazilian servers had a Fanta event in 2015.
31	* {{Retraux}}: There is a polygon limit for each cube, and it seems to be pretty low, resulting in everything being blocky.
32	* ShrinkRay: Guess what one of the weapons is.
33	** There’s also a shrink pill.
34	* SpringySpores: There's bouncy mushrooms as a block material.
35	* TheSmurfettePrinciple: Of the 6 starter avatars to select from, only one of them is female.
36	* StuffBlowingUp
37	** There are bazookas weapons and TNT logic in this game.
