* ButtMonkey:
* CatGirl: The self-aware firewall guarding the data of Idio Baka's game is rendered as an anime girl with purple hair and cat ears.
* DialogueTree: The final game's hack is done remotely, but it requires getting through a seemingly self-aware firewall. Doing so requires correct answers to multiple choices questions written in this manner.
* EnergyBall: The blue unicorn-like gally in "Gally 3" fires blue orbs from its horn.
* GameplayRoulette: While the "core" gameplay is to walk around and interact with things, it takes up at most half of the runtime. The other half is source-hacking five games from fellow developers in your block, which requires playing them yourself, and experiencing their vastly different gameplays, fist.
* GogglesDoNothing: The ponies in the pseudo-''MLP'' fanfic game, "Gallies", all have goggles placed uselessly over their forehead.
* GratuitousFrench: The ending screen of "The Return" consists entirely of badly written French.
* HumiliationConga: First, Warren's computer breaks down in the prologue. He has a back-up drive in his car but he can't get down because the door is jammed, so he unscrews the vent, only to find out it actually wasn't. He gets down, and finds out his car just got towed. Once it's brought back, he realizes he didn't bring keys with him and runs back to the apartment...only for the tow guy Cabe to smash the window in anyway. He gets the hard drive...and finds out it got formatted...and so is reduced to source-hacking the games made by his neighbours.
* LockedDoor: The door of Warren's office had mysteriously gotten jammed, which forces him to go around through an air vent. Once he unscrews the vent's cover, however, the door opens by itself: it turns out he just needed to pull at the knob, not push it.
** In "The Return", all but one of the doors are also locked.
* NocturnalEmission: "Super Heart Rate Simulator's" final challenge is keeping its protagonist, Stick, from having a heart attack while he's having an erotic dream. A success means that he wakes up with sticky pants, but is at least alive.
* PlayableEpilogue: You get to play Warren's rom hack game as the credits roll.
* ShoutOut: One character, "[=Brohoof19=]", is a huge fan of
** Warren's bookshelf is apparently full of [[{{Dystopia}} dystopic]] sci-fi novels like [[Film/MadMax batshit max]] and [[Literature/BraveNewWorld bestworld]]. This is referenced again in the ending, where it's revealed he used the funds from his hacked game to create a dystopian sci-fi game "[[Literature/NineteenEightyFour Big]] [[Series/BigBrother Brother]]", which became an award-winning hit.
** Then, there's David Beige, a pretty clear {{Expy}} of Creator/QuanticDream head David Cage. The game he supposedly made, "The Return", requires the player's input even for tiny actions, much like in ''VideoGame/{{Fahrenheit}}'', ''VideoGame/HeavyRain'' and ''VideoGame/BeyondTwoSouls'', and Warren's take on it echoes the common criticisms of those games, such the lack of legitimate puzzles and problem-solving, yet also the fans hailing the games as masterpieces and treating those who disagree very aggressively.
* ShowWithinAShow: The five games from fellow developers that Warren tries source-hacking together to avoid disaster.
* SpikesOfDoom: "You have to Press UP to Jump" has bright green triangles representing insta-kill spikes.

* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: The weirdly self-aware firewall guarding the final game's data has luscious purple hair.
* WhereAreTheyNowEpilogue: The game ends with such an epilogue, which is narrated by Idio Baka's firewall, and tells the tale of all the characters seen or mentioned in the game.
