5!!Tropes:
6
7* AbsurdlyHighLevelCap: The level cap for a Sploder user is 250, and higher levels allow them to create more complex games.
8* ArtifactTitle: "Sploder" used to focus on shooters, but as mentioned above, it expanded its variety.
9* AutomaticNewGame: Since Sploder doesn't have a full saving system yet, this applies to all games.
10* AwesomeButTemporary: Some of the power-ups available in games utilize this feature, such as the time limit of the "atomic " power-up.
11* CallAHitPointASmeerp: In the Platformed creator some enemies are named rather peculiarly, such as a golem-like heavyweight called George, and a dragon-like creature called a Snarley.
12* CaptureTheFlag: A game mode in the shooter.
13* DigitalAvatar: All members have a customizable cube-like avatar that can be created from an array of different options.
14* DualWorldGameplay: In the Physics Puzzle Game De Vacuo puzzles are often solved utilizing this feature.
15* GenreSavvy: In the popular format "Don't trust the ..." games the player must be this to win.
16* HeadSwap: Once player-made graphics could be used in the Platformed creator, the player character could be changed with the only real difference being the appearance of the head.
17* HyperactiveSprite: Commonplace in more poorly made Physics Puzzle Games.
18* InternetJerk: Normally defied, since this is a kid-friendly website.
19** Except for some instances where you can destroy a random character ForTheEvulz.
20* LevelEditor: All the creators with the exception of the Physics Puzzle creator function similarly to this.
21* ThePointsMeanNothing: {{Averted}}. Levels actually help you do more stuff on Sploder.
22* PurelyAestheticGender: The female option for the player character in the Platformer creator makes no actual difference to the character in question, nor do any other aesthetic options.
23* RPGElements: The arcade-style games use in-game money to upgrade stats.
24** With Sploder users, levels don't do much except allow you to create more complex and realistic games.
25* {{Retraux}}: Some of the music is in {{chiptune}}, but some tunes avert this because they aren't.
26* ScunthorpeProblem: The auto-censor replaces swear words with "splode". It also censors relatively mild things like "gay", "jerk" and "loser"- even though a common game mechanic in the Platformer game type is called a "closer" and many people refer to it as a "[[SdrawkcabAlias relsoc]]" to stop it from coming out as "csplode".
27* ShoutOut: The [=SploderHeads=] multiplayer games may be a shout-out in general to ''VideoGame/CallOfDuty'' and ''VideoGame/AngryBirds''.
28* TopDownView: The shooter and algorithm games have this viewpoint.
29* VideoGameObjectives: Applicable to all the creators, the objective options are all what you'd expect from an online game.
