Line 15:
 
* [[Alliterative Name]] - Pete Pixelhead and Victor Vector, that are also references to videogame graphics.
* [[And the Adventure Continues...]]
* [[Art Shift]] - There are lots of different tilesets for the various elements of the game, therefore many levels have unique graphics that look like, for example, scribbles on paper, blueprints or fake old-style vector graphics; some of them emulate the looks of other games (see [[Shout-Out]] below).
* [[Balance Between Good and Evil]]: "Without darkness there can be no light!"
Line 30:
* [[Executive Meddling]] - The blood in the [[Vanity Plate]] and the suicide sequences were removed from an early DOS release, and subsequently re-introduced with the possibility to turn the censorship on and off.
* [[Knight Templar]] - Hunnibunz.
* [[Lawyer-Friendly Cameo]] - Among the heroes that seek fot Boik and Yeet's help there are: [[PacmanPac-Man|Pockman]], [[Bubble Bobble (Video Game)|Blub and Blob]], [[The Legend of Zelda (Franchise)|Gynandria]] the elf, [[Super Mario Bros.|Pete Pixelhead]], and Jerome the Galactic Hero (a tough guy that looks a bit like [[Turrican]]).
* [[Level Editor]] - One of the most interesting features. The fifth episode of the licensed version actually is just a way to play levels created with the editor.
* [[Nonstandard Game Over]]: Losing to Hunnibunz prompts a different, longer Game Over that isn't as bad as losing beforehand.
Line 39:
* [[The Nineties]] - Some references that date the game to this period, such as one of the heroes using a virtual reality device in one of the intros.
* [[Scoring Points]] - Used interestingly. Not only does a high score get your name in the high score list, it also increases the damage your thrown weapons do to the boss at the end of each episode and determines the ending you get.
* [[Shout-Out]] - Some levels are made to resemble graphics from other videogames, since the plot of the game involves freeing videogame villains. There are levels based on ''[[PacmanPac-Man]]'', ''Marble Madness'', ''Arkanoid'', ''Q*Bert'' and even ''[[Ultima]]''. Among the monsters there are enemies from ''[[Dig Dug]]'' and ''[[Bubble Bobble (Video Game)|Bubble Bobble]]'', the bonus prizes include items from ''[[Rainbow Islands]]'' and background graphics include things like [[Doctor Who|Daleks]], [[Hello Kitty]] characters and so on.
* [[Trial and Error Gameplay]] - Invoked by the fact that it is possible to save and load games, and restart infinite times any given level, without any penalty than having the number of points and lives reset to what you had when you first entered it.
* [[Unexpected Gameplay Change]] - The boss fight at the end of each episode. Instead of solving puzzles, you throw weapons at the boss enemy while it bounces around the room trying to crush you.
