{{tropelist}}
* [[Animal Motifs]]: Butterflies. {{spoiler|The deity himself is one.}}
* [[Badass Normal]]: The main protagonist, using only his jumping ability and little else.
Line 30 ⟶ 28:
* [[Cutscene Boss]]: Once you finally reach the deity ({{spoiler|who appears to be nothing more than a simple butterfly}}), he surrenders, having nothing else to throw at you.
* [[Deadly Walls]]: The second rule, "Thou shalt not touch blocks or walls from the side."
{{quote| [[Jerkass Gods|"This ought to be interesting."]]}}
* [[Death Course]]: Almost all of the game.
* [[Death Is Cheap]]: Unlimited lives are in effect. The game DOES tally up the amount of player deaths at the end, though.
Line 61 ⟶ 59:
* [[Retcon]]: The Newgrounds version changed the golden blocks in the final level to skull blocks, in order to fill the [[Plot Hole]] of {{spoiler|golden blocks still killing you after the Book of Laws is broken.}}
** The composer [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lkBnQ27-Qrs&feature=related explained this] (spoilers in the comments) on Youtube as well:
{{quote| Rur539: Huh... I know in the newgrounds version in level 11 the golden blocks were skulls, but since they are gold/yellow in the playthrough {{spoiler|and the Book of Laws shatters}}, wouldn't that mean you could have walked on them?<br />
flashygoodness: That was a problem in the original game. The yellow blocks still killed you {{spoiler|after the rules were nullified}} in the original version, hence the decision to change them to a different type of block in the new version. }}
* [[Sdrawkcab Name]]/ [[Meaningful Name]]: The level editor for the Newgrounds version reveals the protagonists name as {{spoiler|Eid}}. Now, what does [[God Is Evil|the deity]] want you to do? [[Nintendo Hard|What are you probably going to be doing a lot of the time in this game?]] That's right...
* [[Shout -Out]]: One of the achievements is [[Tenacious D|Tenacious Eid]].
* [[Spikes of Doom]]: Well, they're here.
* [[Suddenly Harmful Harmless Object]]: Butterflies and plants once the fourth rule, "Thou shalt not touch a living thing," comes into effect.
* [[Villainous Breakdown]]: The deity gradually gets more desperate to stop you the further you get into the tower, enforcing crueller laws in his anger.
** Particularly notable is this line: "How dare you... How dare you continue to live? Is it merely to spite me? You damn fool. Those covetous enough to seek my reward deserve only fiery torment. You will share that fate soon enough."
* [[Who Dares?]]
* [[You Fool!]]
* [[Your Head Asplode]]: When you get smited.
