Hi, I’m making an [iPhone game](https://apps.apple.com/us/app/id1670045421) and want to translate it into Japanese. I’m struggling with what to call 2 things in the game that don’t exist in life… Can you suggest names for these, please?
* “**Swatters” -** these are moving walls that block your way or push you when they move. They work like keyrings or clock hands and look like pinecones. [https://youtu.be/zCrexv9Pp2s](https://youtu.be/zCrexv9Pp2s)
* **”Corner-cutters” -** these move in partially circular paths and can injure you. [**https://youtu.be/5RAFVmDK7VA**](https://youtu.be/5RAFVmDK7VA)

Try r/translator for better responses.
If they don’t exist, then it would expressed in katakana, or phonetical alphabet.
“Swatters” = スワッター
“Corner Cutters” = コーナカッター
you can just use katakana for name, as long as the tooltip for those elements are properly explained in Japanese.
