Line 144:
* [[Rhythm Game]]: The games' genre is filed under "Retro Rhythm Action".
* [[Robot Buddy]]: Radbot and Mr. Robotube both.
* [[Roof Hopping]]: Present in ''Bit.Trip Runner''. [httphttps://wwwweb.archive.org/web/20110116083645/http://bitmob.com/articles/origin-stories-bittrip-runner According to this review], this was going to be the entirety of "Triumph", but the guys at Gaijin discovered [[Canabalt]] and relocated most of the action to the streets of the [[Capital City]], only hitting the roofs at the very last level.
* [[Rule of Three]]: There are three songs in each game: ''Bit.Trip Beat'' had "Transition", "Descent" and "Growth"; ''Bit.Trip Core'' had "Discovery", "Exploration" and "Control"; ''Bit.Trip Void'' had "Id", "Ego" and "Super-Ego"; ''Bit.Trip Runner'' had "Impetus", "Tenacity" and "Triumph"; ''Bit.Trip Fate'' has [[This Is Gonna Suck|"Patience", "Frustration" and "Anger"]]; and ''Bit.Trip Flux'' had "Epiphany", "Perception" and "Catharsis".
* [[Running Gag]]: [http://www.vimeo.com/2576444 "I am only a man!"] seems to be this. Seen in Triumph are posters with cats that read "I am only a cat."
Line 171:
* [[Silent Credits]]: ''Bit.Trip Flux''.
* [[Some Dexterity Required]]: While the controls are simple enough, the ''things the game makes you do with them'' can only be described as combos from hell. Add to that the fact that ''Bit.Trip Beat'' and ''Bit.Trip Flux'' use non-optional motion controls: the muscle memory has to be all in your wrists.
* [[Special Guest]]: Each game has a chiptune artist that provides the menu and credits songs. Both ''Bit.Trip Beat'' and ''Bit.Trip Flux'' have [http://bit.shifter.net/ Bit Shifter] (he only made the menu music for the latter, however, as it has [[Silent Credits]] instead), ''Bit.Trip Core'' has [http://www.bubblyfish.com Bubblyfish], ''Bit.Trip Void'' has [http://www.nullsleep.com Nullsleep], ''Bit.Trip Runner'' has [[Anamanaguchi]], and ''Bit.Trip Fate'' has [httphttps://wwwweb.archive.org/web/20131207062627/https://minusbaby.com/ Minusbaby]. And it appears that music by [http://zonotope.bandcamp.com/ electric group Zonotope] will be in ''Bit.Trip Runner 2''.
* [[Spin-Off]]: ''[http://robotubegames.com/bittonik-blip-fest-09-gaijinrobotube-battle-brands BIT.TONIK]'', a collaboration between Gaijin Games and Robotube Games, made in a single day during Blip Fest 2009 in what was called the "[https://web.archive.org/web/20111108154545/http://www.gaijingames.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/blipfestflyer.jpg BATTLE OF THE BRANDS]". The gameplay is essentially a crossover of ''Bit.Trip Beat'' and ''[[Bloktonik]]''. The [[Obvious Beta]] version available is what they managed to get done in a single day. ''Bit.Trip Runner 2: The Future Legend of Rhythm Alien'' is one for ''Bit.Trip Runner'', and [[Art Shift|is being designed in a radically different style]].
* [[Springs Springs Everywhere]]: In ''Bit.Trip Runner''.
* [[Sprite Polygon Mix]]: The playing field is simple 2D, the backgrounds are all 3D environments (except for ''Bit.Trip Void'', but its cutscenes still feature them) Averted in ''Bit.Trip Runner'''s Retro Stages, which are solely 2D.
