Screen shake

Also called: Camera shake

A game effect that briefly shakes the view in response to a hit or explosion.

Press “Attack” and compare the shaking scenery with the fixed health display.

Often confused with

• Shake: An animation that shakes a single element, such as an input field, rather than the whole game view
• Handheld: A filming technique whose irregular movement comes from holding the camera, rather than a brief shake timed to a hit
