21 | !!cactus's body of work displays the following tropes: |
22 | * BlackComedy |
23 | * BodyHorror / EyesDoNotBelongThere |
24 | * BulletHell: He loves this genre, it seems. |
25 | * LevelEditor: ''[=BlockOn!=]'' combines this with RandomlyGeneratedLevels--you provide the level layout, the program sets up the traps and enemies. |
26 | * LudicrousGibs: For those games which have blood. |
27 | * MindScrew: A lot of the games. |
28 | * {{Ninja}}: The protagonists of ''Shotgun Ninja'', ''Saru Ga Daisuki'', ''Ninja Flu''. |
29 | * NoPlotNoProblem / ExcusePlot: For most games, the "plot" is the single paragraph on the download page. |
30 | * {{Retraux}}: Most of his games are in a vintage, pixelated style. |
31 | * StylisticSuck: ''Ted's Wet Adventure''. His other games sometimes show elements of that. |
32 | * ViolenceIsDisturbing: Quite a few of his games (such as ''Dear Agent'', ''Xoldiers'', ''VideoGame/HotlineMiami'') share the motif of a protagonist engaging in mindless violence for violence's sake, or because they are JustFollowingOrders. |
