* DirectionallySolidPlatforms: On it, you dont fall; below it, jump and you're upon!

* DirectionallySolidPlatforms

* CollisionDamage: If you touch a fruit or a SpikeOfDoom, [[OneHitPointWonder you're done]].

* AmbiguousGender: Not gender per se, actually, but there have been a lot of discussion whether the red fruits are apples or tomatoes. Even the dev team acknowledges it. Though if one thinks closely, he might remember that enemies are all fruits, while all vegetables are items. And there is actually a tomato item.
** But it should be noted that tomatoes are, after all, also fruits. Just a mistake on the developers' logic, then.

In it, you're a snowman named Igor brought to life when a sorcerer steals your carrot nose, who also happened to kidnap and slave all the sentient fruits of the orchards of Hammerfest [[ForTheEvulz for no apparent reason]]. Now, Igor must venture to his subterranean hideout and go [[HarderThanHard through 100+ levels without dying]] ([[DifficultySpike did we mention there are]] [[CheckPointStarvation no save points?]]) in order to recover his honor and free his fruity friends from the clutches of Tuber the evil sorcerer.

* TheyJustDidntCare: It took more than one year for the English version of the game to get the Parallel Dimensions after the French and Spanish ones, and the game ''still'' has a bunch of typos, but they pretty much forgot about it already.

* CheckPointStarvation: You must go through 100+ levels without dying to beat the game, or else you'll have to [[RestartAtLevelOne start over from level zero]]. Good luck.

* DeadlyDodging: When there are strawberries in the levels, or swarms of watermelons, or [[ItGotWorse both]].

* BrutalBonusLevel: P.D. 54; Also an example of PlanetHell.

* BonusLevelOfHell: P.D. 54; Also a BrutalBonusLevel.

Okay, [[WhatDoYouMeanItWasntMadeOnDrugs this pretty much]] [[WhatDoYouMeanItsNotAwesome sums it]].

With the ability to throw bombs that freeze your enemies, to progress you have to clear the levels out of the bewitched fruits by sending them to the [[BottomlessPit bottom of the level]] with them. It's not as easy as it sounds, unfortunately, as you'll see in latter levels. To help you on your way, though, there are the aforementioned 300+ items, most of which have twisted effects of all sorts that go from dandelions that make you flutter to trophies that summon a three-eyed-god to make your enemies dizzy. [[BeyondTheImpossible And these are among the weakest.]]

'''The Caverns of Hammerfest''' is a Flash game made by the French game developers of Motion-Twin in February 2006, and is the masterpiece homage to the good old platformers that made you yell BigNo's at the loss of your character's last life. Particularly inspired by gems like VideoGame/BubbleBobble and VideoGame/SnowBros, the [[NintendoHard insane difficulty]] it has to offer is notable (while also being very fair), but its real charm are the countless collectible items and the nice graphics you come across in your quest.

** If you pay attention to the stem, it's an apple. And, in the intro, you see them hanging from a tree.

** [[ShortCircuit Johnny 5]], UFORoboGrendizer, Anime/Ulysses31, StarWars, {{Robocop}} and {{Transformers}}: All get items on the robots-based family items.

* NostalgiaLevel: P.D. 16 (SuperMarioBros), P.D. 43 (BubbleBobble), P.D. 51 (RickDangerous) and P.D. 62 (SonicTheHedgehog).

** BubbleBobble: The TropeCodifier gets a Parallel Dimension, in level 43, with levels [[NostalgiaLevel being straight from it]]. Also, like the first game often had levels with the tiles making a drawing or words, Hammerfest has a few levels with tile-art too.

** SnowBros: The protagonist's a snowman. That's all, interestingly enough.

* GuideDangIt: Okay, if you want big scores, you '''must''' check the guides about the orders in which you must kill the fruits in order to get the big crystal. It's nigh impossible to figure them out by yourself, mainly when there more than one of the same fruit.

* FightingAShadow: The bat at level 101? [[spoiler:He's not dead by 102, that's all I can say.]]

The game can be found [[http://www.hfest.net here]]. There is a downside, though: you can only play once per day (you can buy more games if you're impatient). This marketing strategy may seem like a problem at the start, when your runs don't go past level 10 and they managed to get you [[JustOneMoreLevel addicted already]], but once you're skilled enough and your plays start to, literally, take more than 1 hour, it won't bother you much anymore.
