!!''[=Bad Omen=]'' displays examples of:
* BattleCouple: As stone paddles, the prince and princess work together to smash the blue ball into their enemies.
* BigDamnHeroes: Just when it seems like all hope is lost for the prince & princess to have a happy life, the blue sphere comes to their rescue.
* BreakingOut
* CueTheSun: The ending.
* DarkerAndEdgier: Most Breakout clones don't have a dark evil/gothic/horror theme... or much of any concrete theme at all.
* DeusExMachina: A mysterious blue sphere, which the prince & princess can use to fight back against evil, just happens to fall from the sky.
* EvilCounterpart: [[spoiler: The final boss shoot out blue spheres similar to your own.]]
* EvilIsVisceral: [[spoiler: The final boss is a beating heart.]]
* ExcusePlot: The introduction text is absolutely hilarious.
* GreenEyedMonster: The evil demon is jealous about the fact that a prince & princess can be happy.

* NoOntologicalInertia: [[spoiler: Defeating the evil demon results in the prince & princess turning back into human form once they get back to their kingdom.]]
