* [[Fridge Brilliance]]: A lot of people were unimpressed with the final boss of ''FLUX''; it's an [[Empty Room Psych|empty room]], the object being to bounce the ball 15 times without missing. It may seem relatively uninspired -- that is, unless you've lived long enough to remember the [[Atari 2600]] games, and you suddenly remember the original ''[[Breakout]]'', and you remember what happened after you destroy 2 entire walls of bricks. The answer? ''Nothing''. You're left with an empty room and you can simply bounce the balls around [[Endless Game|forever until you lose them all]], because ''there is nothing left''. The game is over.
** ''Bit.Trip Void'' is considered a Breather ''Game''. It even has *[[GASP]]* checkpoints! Getting a high score is still very challenging though.
** Furthermore, Neuse said that in ''Runner'', they added the ability for CommanderVideo to kick down walls because they were so annoyed at the walls in ''[[Pitfall]]''. Similarly, in ''FLUX'', you ''can'' bust out of the empty Breakout room and into the beyond... because, after all, CommanderVideo cannot be stopped.
** "Ginger Pit" is pretty much this in ''Bit.Trip Runner''. Really, the middle of the third zone in general is surprisingly less challenging. Don't worry, it ratchets back up to insane by 3-9: The Gauntlet.

* [[Game Breaker]]: The bosses of the second and third songs of ''VOID'' contained a horrible infinite score exploit if you stall forever while in "super" or "ultra" mode and steadily gain points. The updated version of the game disables the automatic score gain of those modes at the bosses.
** [[Meaningful Name|Control]] in ''Bit.Trip Core'' is much easier than the level that came before it, Exploration, as the pattern is mostly recycled from the previous stages.
