Line 7:
* Deathmatch: Sorted into teams, you and an assortment of other players and bots try to rake in the most kills.
* [[Capture the Flag|Capture The Plug]]: Two teams square off trying to get the plug back to your own plug.
* Survival: You and [[Co
* Bounty: Similar to Deathmatch, but the goal is to gather as much [[Vendor Trash]] as possible and convert it to Volts. First to reach the goal wins!
* Defense
* Challenge
* [[Co
* Campaign
Line 22:
* [[Abnormal Ammo]]: Matter weapons shoot some kind of superheated matter pellets [[For Massive Damage]]. Oddly enough, this is explicitly different from the ammo used by [[Energy Weapons|Plasma weapons]].
* [[Artificial Stupidity]]: During [[Capture the Flag|Capture The Plug]] mode, your bots will sometimes have the Plug and stand next to your station without entering it, thereby losing you a point when they get shot. They will also wander about the map doing nothing while you get swarmed by the enemy bots who [[The Computer Is a Cheating Bastard|work together to take you down]].
* [[Awesome but Impractical]]: Most weapons are safe and easy to use, and even the [[Crack
* [[BFG]]: Too many to count, but the RPG, Assault Weapons and Blasters are pretty obvious.
* [[Blinded By the Light]]: In a game with flash grenades, this had to come about. It adds a [[Interface Screw|bloomy-blurry white blob]] in the area it went off and prevents your auto-aim from working at all.
* [[
* [[Bullet Time]]: On by default, as most projectiles and attacks move far too fast for any conceivable reaction.
* [[Call a Smeerp A Rabbit]]: Shrooms are small creatures with shells that punch you and live in tiny houses. Spike Birds are rotund creatures with invulnerable beaky faces and can explode a hail of spikes from their backside.
* [[Camera Screw]]: Quite often when playing with more than one person; the screen tries and fails to compensate when they stray too far from one another.
* [[Cherry Tapping]]: Punching to death anything but Shrooms or Birds can be this. Especially true against Hamsters and Predators.
* [[Corrupt Corporate Executive|Corrupt Corporation]]: The organization that gives you your shiny new body is implied to be this. [[Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking|At least they don't discriminate.]]
* [[Competitive Balance]]: Based on what upgrades and weapons you choose for your character, you can take any number of paths.
** [[Jack of All Stats]]: You start off as this, and have to work your way into other categories.
Line 45:
* [[Double Jump]]: After running for a second, you build up a charge in your feet that speeds you up a small amount. You can then use this to make a second jump in the air. Can even be turned into a ''triple'' jump if you know how to time your roll-punches. If you know how to use the [[Rocket Jump|Phaser]] right, this can be turned into a leap that rivals proper use of the [[Jet Pack|Jet Shoes.]]
* [[Elaborate Equals Effective]]: Most gun upgrades are visible once applied.
* [[Elemental Rock
* [[Energy Weapons]]
* [[Flawed Prototype]]: The Matter Prototype. Cheaper than the Army or Police versions, but is not upgradeable and has a very small clip size.
Line 56:
* [[Invulnerable Knuckles]]: Justified, as you're using Sloth-Grip<sup>TM</sup> Hands, but you're punching ''rockets'' of all things.
* [[Kinetic Weapons Are Just Better]]: Averted. Slugger(conventional bullets) weapons are unable to penetrate any type of shielding, but typically have a higher rate of fire and can penetrate defensive rolling. Slugger bullets are also the weakest thing available to you, with most other weapons having [[One Hit KO|instant kills]] on most enemies.
* [[Laser
* [[Level Editor]]: Largely incomplete, but the community is already making their own levels and distributing them.
* [[Made of Iron]]: Predators and Hamsters both take obscene amounts of damage to take down. The Predator can be taken down easily by the [[BFG|Plasma Striker]], but that weapon [[One Hit KO|kills most enemies in one hit anyway]].
Line 68:
* [[Nintendo Hard]]: Fast-paced gameplay and a steep learning curve mean that early on you'll be seeing the [[Game Over]] screen more often than your character.
* [[Obvious Beta]]: The game comes with a few warnings labeling it as an alpha game.
* [[One
* [[Overclocking Attack]]: This is how Plasma and Beam weapons kill enemies. Instead of dealing damage, they gradually(or abruptly) heat up the target until they violently explode.
* [[Overheating]]: Some Plasma weapons heat up after several shots, rendering them unusable for several seconds. Upgrades can fix this, but the problem will never go away entirely.
Line 74:
* [[Shout Out]]: Many scrolling on the bottom of the main screen as [[Couch Gag|title splashes]]. The one to [[Minecraft]] says 'Gravel is awesome because arrows!'
* [[Sorting Algorithm of Weapon Effectiveness]]: Played straight, but some early weapons retain their effectiveness because of some features and upgrades their super powered bigger brothers may lack.
* [[Tradesnark]]: The entire premise of the game is that you are a [[
* [[Video Game Tutorial]]: There is one included right on the main menu. It has all the basics, but also an Advanced area where they teach you the intricacies of rolling and [[Scrappy Mechanic|how to punch incoming rockets.]]
* [[When Trees Attack]]: They haven't been introduced to the game officially yet, but the [[Exactly What It Says On the Tin|Trunkan resemble walking tree trunks]] with leaves or nests on their heads.
