Line 27:
* [[Adults Are Useless]]: Hilariously lampshaded every possible chance there is. At least one grown-up has seen the evil beasts himself - and thinks they're [[Teens Are Monsters|just teenagers]].
* [[Attention Deficit Ooh Shiny]]: Reynold, especially in "Grubbins on Ice". Ooh, look! A quarter!
* [[Back Fromfrom the Dead]]: The Unicorn's special.
* [[Becoming the Costume]]: Literally!
* [[Big Bad]]: Big Bones.
Line 43:
** Defense: [[Knight in Shining Armor|Knight]], [[Bigfoot, Sasquatch, and Yeti|Yeti]] (DLC only).
** Support: [[Statue of Liberty]], [[Unicorn]].
** Special: [[Eager Young Space Cadet|Spaceman]], [[Giant Enemy Crab|French Fries]], [[Panthera Awesome|Black Cat]].
* [[Cryptic Background Reference]]: Repugia.
* [[Dangerously Genre Savvy]]: Dorsilla. She tries to get rid of your awesome costumes more than once.
Line 62:
* [[Genre Savvy]]: Wren, Reynold, Everett and Dorsilla.
* [[Getting Crap Past the Radar]]: "I hope I'm the only banana costume. Last year? TOTAL bananafest!"
* [[Giant Enemy Crab]]: The French Fries turns you into this. Yes, really. A giant crab with french fry legs, french fry pincers, and a french fry container shell. And it's [[Lethal Joke Character|actually pretty effective]].
* [[Grim Reaper]]: Big Bones, an enormously ''fat'' Grim Reaper.
* [[G-Rated Drug]]: Candy. "Awww YEAH! That's the sugar daddy likes!"
Line 71:
* [[A Hell of a Time]]: One monster says Dorsilla is so bad that {{spoiler|they don't want her to return to Repugia.}}
* [[Healing Hands]]: The Statue of Liberty's power is to do this through sheer [[Patriotic Fervor|Patriotism.]]
* [[Homage]]: Tasha Harris says the game is inspired from many things. The isometric diagonal view of the town is from [[EarthboundEarthBound]], the monsters are inspired from [[Labyrinth]], the art is inspired from [[Hayao Miyazaki]] and [[The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker|Wind Waker,]] and the whole game is a love letter to Halloween and costumes (in particular, handmade ones.)
* [[Hopeless Boss Fight]]: "Grubbins on Ice" starts you off fighting against three Level 14 Repugiarchs; at this point, it's impossible to be higher than Level 10. You actually can win the fight if you hit '''all''' the prompts and catch some luck with the enemy's choice of targets, but [[Failure Is the Only Option]] and it dumps you into the next scene as if you lost. (You still receive a hefty experience bonus if you win, though.)
* [[Hot Witch]]: Dorsilla, in universe, and she boasts it. {{spoiler|After her defeat, she wonders if her failure to conquer the world is because she's too pretty.}}
Line 83:
* [[Kids Prefer Boxes]]: The first costume.
* [[La Résistance]]: You help out the monsters against their oppressive new government in Grubbins On Ice. They even dress like Che Guevara. Citizens wonder why, despite being members of the resistance movement, you lack beards and berets.
* [[Leaning on the Fourth Wall]]: Everett does this the most. Or maybe he just really likes [[Dungeons and& Dragons]].
{{quote|''Everett'': A mall? This looks more like a dungeon! Which I am totally prepared for! Hey look! A dungeon map!
''Everett'': He just took a natural 20 to the face and didn't take ANY damage! }}
