moving platforms
Floors that transport
Moving platforms are surfaces in video games that shift position, requiring players to time jumps or movements to cross gaps or reach new areas.
They're a staple of platformer games, appearing as floating blocks, elevators, or conveyor-like surfaces: I kept falling off the moving platforms in that ice level.
The term occasionally describes real-world equivalents like airport walkways or amusement park rides.
