* NoPlotNoProblem: The game is fast-paced and simple enough that most players probably won't notice the absence of a plot. "Games this good rarely need a story" is how the manual of the UsefulNotes/{{Amiga}} version put it.

Added DiffLines:

* EdibleCollectible: The game has six different types of fruit. Under some conditions, they rain down continuously from the top of the screen (with some SpikeballsOfDoom mixed in). Not only does collecting them score points, they can be redeemed for eggs as an end-of-round bonus.

* PacifistRun: The "Peacefully done" bonus for killing no enemies on a level.
* RespawningEnemies: In the original BBCMicro version, enemies would respawn [[TurnsRed faster and tougher]] a few seconds after they were killed. This was averted entirely in later versions.



* SpikeballsOfDoom: Black spiked balls are fixed hazards in some stages, but they also may fall randomly from the ceiling in some circumstances.
* StalkedByTheBell: Take too long on any level (whether or not there is a visible timer), and the music will become ominous as a constant rain of SpikeballsOfDoom begins (replacing the constant rain of fruits in {{Bonus Stage}}s).
* TemporaryPlatform: The game has blocks that dissolve from the bottom up when players stand on them.
