Line 8:
The game borrows the power-up system from ''[[Gradius]]'', allowing the player to select powers depending on how many flowers he collects from destroyed enemies.

* [[Animate Inanimate Object]]: The sewer level has many of these — apparently Hexaae's magic works on non-living things as well. The second boss of the sewer level is a can of Pepsi-Cola.
* [[Asteroids Monster]]: one of the bosses is one, which makes less sense when you remember that ''it's a FISH''.
Line 14:
* [[Bonus Level of Heaven]]: literally (and making absolutely no sense for this game). You fly above heavenly clouds, catching angels and avoiding demons.
* [[Bonus Stage]]: Several, including one that you can enter ''during a boss battle''.
* [[
* [[Dueling Games]]: ''Apidya'' came out in the very same month as ''Project-X'' and ''Agony'', two other very popular horizontally scrolling shoot-em-ups.
* [[Exty Years From Now]]: The intro shows us events taking place in '19XX'.
Line 26:
* [[One-Hit-Point Wonder]]: If you don't have a shield, Ikuro dies if anything hits him. Even if he hits scenery. This is likely due to shoot-em-up legacy of the time - spaceships in horizontally-scrolling shooters were always One Hit Point Wonders.
* [[Puffer Fish]]: the first boss of the final boss rush is one - to be specific, a long-horned cowfish. Appropriately, it's an [[Energy Absorption|Energy Absorber]]; it gets larger and more powerful the more you shoot it. Until it explodes. Into more fish.
* [[Segmented Serpent]]: The eel boss is the most fitting example, since it moves around like a snake, but there are other segmented enemies: some odd pond animal with an extending jaw, and swinging electrical cables in the sewer level. Don't forgot the {{spoiler|Dead Rat boss when maggots rise from the corpse}} and {{spoiler|Doll Face Brat's hand}}.
* [[Shout-Out]]: The whole fourth level is a shout-out to ''R-Type''.
* [[Shown Their Work]]: The depictions of European insects and other animals are all accurate, and if you know your biology, you can identify them.
