Line 2:
* [[Alternate Character Interpretation]]: Is Recette's dad merely a [[Bumbling Dad|bumbling]] [[The Ditz|ditz]]?, or is he a [[Complete Monster]] who basically set the plot in motion by crossing the [[Moral Event Horizon]]?
* [[Breather Boss]]: The Gauntlet "boss" level two-thirds of the way through the Obsidian Tower, which is packed with a pretty large and exhausting variety of monsters, particularly various varieties of slime. Much, much easier than the other bosses at that end of the game.
* [[Demonic Spiders]]: Ropers initially thanks to a bug. They hit you once, and you are either left in single digit HP or dead.
** Regular enemies which usually deal pitiful amounts of damage in earlier dungeons become this in [[Brutal Bonus Level|The Crystal Nightmare
* [[Ear Worm]]:
** [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lLvVryt1fLQ "Closed Shop"], which plays in the shop when it's not open for business.
** [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1r4-WpPDhmI "Opened Shop"], which plays whenever you [[Exactly What It Says on the Tin|open the shop]].
* [[Ensemble Darkhorse]]: [[Rich Bitch|Alou]][[The Rival|ette
** So insanely high she can save your butt on Survival, especially on 1.106. Get her to buy a rug or ask for 'something metal', and you'll get near half a million pix off her in one sale!
* [[Funny Aneurysm Moment|"Funny Aneurysm" Moment]]: Tear is quite pleased when Caillou thinks she's the proprietor. Given what we later learn about the treatment of fairies, she's probably not used to getting that kind of respect. Caillou himself thinks it's unexpected, though he's more willing to believe a fairy is in charge than a girl his age.
* [[Game Breaker]]: In 1.105 and 1.106 at least you can sell vending machines in vending machines. Physics aside, this can be a very good way to make money fast once you have the capital to get it started.
** Considering Tear says point-blank you (supposedly) can't resell vending machines, this is almost certainly a [[Good Bad Bugs|bug]].
*** Also works wonders during a metal rush. Clear out all but the showcase of metal items. After those get sold, people will ask you to 'sell them something metal
** In the initial version of the demo, there was a woman who would buy a Walnut Bread on the first day. Unlike most other customers, she would never leave the shop no matter how much you haggled with her. This raised her willing-to-pay price by a bit every time. This meant that the game could be broken by selling one piece of Walnut Bread for ''millions of pix'', [[Obvious Rule Patch|until Carpe Fulgur and EasyGameStation released an updated demo which capped the woman's wallet at 150pix
* [[Goddamned Bats]]:
** Shopping-wise examples:

** Yayifications!
*** Don't [http://img29.imageshack.us/img29/565/stealmycuteness.jpg steal my CUUUUUUTENESS]! Eek!
* [[Moe]]: An impressively large portion of the cast has the [[Moe]] look. Recette especially fits the archetype; one reviewer described her as "cute enough to induce [[Tastes Like Diabetes|insulin shock]]." Even somewhat [[Lampshade Hanging|lampshaded]] in the dialogue: "That girl: something about her inspires people to care." One wonders if the Japanese version of that line included the word "moe
* [[Non Sequitur Scene]]: Most of the things you find in the dungeons are standard fare, among which are traps like bombs and boulders. However, one rare trap ends up throwing giant spinning fish across the screen.
** This is also pretty good for dealing with pursuing foes like [[Goddamned Bats|those angry roper things]] if you're lucky. Best works with Charme who can detect traps without a ring.
* [[The Scrappy]]/[[Scrappy Mechanic]]: Elan, especially early on. If you plan on selling anything to him, you '''WILL''' be taking a loss of profit, since he seemingly never carries any more than 1000 or so pix on him whenever he visits your store, no matter what the reason (though he does start carrying more as you start to raise relations with him). In the dungeons, he initially seems useless with fast but terribly short-range attacks, terrible SP and no defensive skills (though later, he's faster than average, as his rage skill plus healing rings turn his massive HP more massive and his damage output similarly massive).
** Euria exists only to force you to spend ridiculous amounts of money not screw up your Pin combos. People have actually gone so far as to avoid all cutscenes during the times of day that she could appear, and thus start appearing in the shop.
*** She's helpful until you have all rank 5's unlocked. You should definitely avoid her cutscenes after you have Elan's friendship note thing and all fusions unlocked and sold to your adventurers, however.
*** You don't need to avoid her cutscenes. Just decorate the store so that she avoids it.
