* AerithAndBob: Zachary, Garret, and Pisces go on an adventure.
* AmbidextrousSprite: Most of the sprites are only drawn in one direction, so the game automatically flips them around when they face another direction, at least in the demos released thus far.
* CoolBike: A hoverbike stage through the desert was one of the many, many DummiedOut parts of the game.

* FunnyAnimal: About 75% of the characters and counting. They're just so [[FurriesAreEasierToDraw easy to draw!]]
* GreenHillZone: Evergreen Hillside is a mountainous grassy landscape dotted with pine trees, while the "other-world" version of that stage takes place on a range of islands flying in the sky.
* OneBulletAtATime: In the demos released so far, no more than five projectiles have ever been able to be shot by the protagonists at any given time.
* PlayfulOtter: Garret Rapids is supposedly supposedly like this, if the creator of the game is to be believed.
* ShoutOut: [[http://fc03.deviantart.net/fs71/f/2014/023/b/7/dimension_spark_concept_1___evergreen_hillside_by_crazyriverotter-d73c6y3.png concept art]] of the game has the "Fezzed [[http://thewiredfish.files.wordpress.com/2012/03/phil-fish-tweet.jpg%3Fw%3D640%26h%3D307 ChokeFish"]] as a possible enemy. It's not a particularly "friendly" shout out, however.
* WalkDontSwim: Averted. A swimming system has been announced that lets you swim freely in 8-directions. Not swimming will cause you to float up to the surface.

* DevelopmentHell: This game has suffered delay after delay, art style change after art style change. Even the developer of the game notes that he feels the game is going anywhere but forward.

* AmbidextrousSprite: Nearly everyone in the game so far. In fact, most of the sprites are only drawn in one direction, so the game automatically flips them around.
* BigOlEyebrows: The protagonist Zachary Spark in promotional artwork.

* GreenHillZone: Evergreen Hillside is a mountainous grassy landscape dotted with pine trees, and Airbound Hilltops, the "other-world" version of Evergreen Hillside is more-or-less the same except with floating islands.
* HumansAreTheRealMonsters: Averted. Most of the villain characters aren't actually human.
* OneBulletAtATime: Depending on your weapons this changes. Zachary Spark starts out with a two-bullet limit, but by the time he gets the final upgrade he can shoot more than five. Garret Rapids can only throw one weapon at a time at the beginning, and upgrade as well.
* PlayfulOtter: Garret Rapids applies here, though he can still be serious when he needs to, in some art.
* ScarfOfAsskicking: Pisces, an alien from another Dimension who sports a vest, a fez, and of course, the scarf.
* ShoutOut: [[http://fc03.deviantart.net/fs71/f/2014/023/b/7/dimension_spark_concept_1___evergreen_hillside_by_crazyriverotter-d73c6y3.png concept art]] of the game has the "Fezzed [[http://thewiredfish.files.wordpress.com/2012/03/phil-fish-tweet.jpg%3Fw%3D640%26h%3D307 ChokeFish"]] as a possible enemy. It's not a particularly kind shout out, however.
* TrueCompanions Zachary Spark and Garret Rapids are mostly inseparable.
* WalkDontSwim: Averted. There is now a swimming system where you can go in 8-directions. Not swimming will cause you to float up to the surface.
