* AdvancingBossOfDoom: The plant / T-Rex hybrid boss will continuously chase Robert throughout the stage, necessitating him to continue running while shooting back. It does momentarily stop a few times to use it's BulletSeed attack, at which point it becomes vulnerable for a short while before the chase continues.
* BigRedDevil: The Ruler of the Ancient Castle more or less resembles the classical depictions of Satan, right to his huge horns, hooves for legs, PlayingWithFire powers, and himself being red all over.



* ClownCarGrave
* ExcusePlot

to:

* %%* ClownCarGrave
* ExcusePlotExcusePlot: The entire premise of the game, which is just for players to kick all sorts of ass as ''an andromorphic pig''.



* {{Hellhound}}: There's a two-headed Cerberus boss in the game, who, curiously enough, can spit both [[AnIcePerson ice]] and fire simultaneously, one from each head, as it's main attacks.
* TheGrimReaper: Being inspired directly by the ''Franchise/{{Castlevania}}'' series, the reaper himself shows up as a boss near the end. It's worth noting that this incarnation of the reaper ''doesn't'' have his usual SinisterScythe, and instead attacks with a ''red'' LaserSword.



* ManEatingPlant: The giant green {{Planimal}} TRexpy with an Audrey-like head full of fangs, who will spend the whole battle trying to chomp on Robert. It can also release BulletSeed projectiles that rolls from one side of the screen to another.



* ShoutOut: to many games, including ''Mega Man 2'', ''Franchise/SuperMarioBros'', ''VideoGame/ZeroWing'', and others, mainly in the form of quotes. But most of all, to the ''Franchise/{{Castlevania}}'' series:

to:

* {{Oculothorax}}: Some of the lesser enemies are floating eyeballs with wings. There's also a ''giant'' KingMook eyeball monster.
* PapaWolf: Robert, who goes on a killing spree against the forces of evil for his kid, Cliffy.
* PigMan: Robert and his family are andromorphic pigs.
* ShortRangeShotgun: Robert's shotgun could barely cover ten meters ahead of him, but it does devastatign ddamage on bosses when it scores a hit.

skull demon boss in the graveyard whose head is just a skull. Despite the rest of his body looking organic.

The game is a pretty transparent reference to the Castlevania games, particularly the older ones which were straightforward platformers rather than the more famous and more recent {{castletroid}}s. In addition, it fully means to {{lampshade}} various videogame tropes, and does so quite shamelessly, with famous zany videogame quotes popping up all over the place. And just look at the names of the six levels:

** [[ClownCarGrave Endless zombies in graveyards]] and buildings. Though the way the graveyards are set up makes them more like VideoGame/GhostsNGoblins's version.
** The epilogue, which speaks of this tale having to repeat itself in about a hundred years. (The Castlevania series canon says that Dracula rises once every century, shortly before the turn of the century.)

* FunnyAnimal - Robert, Cliffy, and the rest of their family.
* GoddamnedBats - the winged eyes, which actualy behave kinda like the dreaded "Castlevania birds".
* Lampshading - everything. ''Everything.'' From Robert's wife asking him to pick up milk along the way, before the first level, to Robert commenting that his son has no taste for dramatic monologues.

* MediumAwareness - demonstrated by Robert before he corrects himself after referring to "the last level".

* [[strike:MonsterMash]] - actually, this game surprisingly averted this trope. With the stock horror and platformer settings you'd think you'd get some classic monsters, but most of the monsters in this game are actually unique to the game. [[supersecretspoiler:Please don't delete this entry; the strikeout is intentional.]]
