floating platforms
Buoyant surface structures
Floating platforms are structures designed to rest on water rather than being fixed to the ground beneath.
They range from simple docks and swimming platforms at lakes to massive offshore oil rigs and experimental ocean habitats.
In video games, floating platforms are suspended surfaces players must jump between, often moving or disappearing to increase difficulty: I keep falling off the floating platforms in this level.
