Line 12:
* [[Hell Is That Noise]]: The [[Inescapable Ambush]] theme, which signals the arrival of swarms of [[Goddamned Bats]], and later, [[Demonic Spiders]].
* [[Memetic Mutation]]: TEA TIME, MOTHERFUCKAS!
* [[Squick]]: The sound The Machine makes when it spews garbage blocks into the puzzle screen. It sounds scarily like real vomiting.
* [[Shout-Out]]: This game felt a bit like an homage to [[Disney Ducks Comic Universe|Scrooge McDuck]] and [[DuckTales]] with original "human" (cartoonish) characters in place of the Ducks. Henry Hatsworth is a rich elderly adventurer with more skill than men a third his age who goes around the world searching for valuable treasures, much like Scrooge (the only difference being that he's British). The main antagonist (until the "twist" comes along) is Weasleby, a foppish and arrogant dandy with glasses who probably inherited all his money, much like Scrooge villain John D. Rockerduck (also known as Robax). It's interesting that Scrooge always wears a top hat and Rockerduck a bowler hat, while for Hatsworth and Weasleby their headgear is reversed. Surely coincidence, but there's a similarity there.
* [[Surprise Difficulty]]: It's a colourful, cartoonish platformer/puzzle hybrid developed by EA's Casual division. You wouldn't think it would give [[Atlus]] games a run for their money, would you?
* [[Suspiciously Similar Song]]: The Puzzle World's theme is a take on the classic [[Standard Snippet]] "Happy Go Lively".
* [[That One Attack]]: The final boss' [[One-Hit Kill]] attacks, especially the second one where it summons walls to crush you.
* [[That One Boss]]: This game makes a good work of lacking ridiculously easy bosses, but everyone seems to agree that The Captain is the hardest of the bunch.
