Level theme

Level themes are abstract ideas that often serve as a basis in level design. Levels may stretch one theme across the entire map, restrict some themes to certain regions, and/or merge multiple themes together. Some well-known themes are:

• Collision
• Connect the dots
• Four-element
• Itemswapper
• Maze
• Melee level
• Random-element
• Sokoban level, or block puzzles

Multitasking can be a level theme, but more often it refers to a time-saving strategy frequently used by bold-seekers. The same can be said of trial and error.
