50 | !!Tropes commonly employed |
51 | * BlackComedy: A lot of Meat Boy's cutscenes, and almost all of Isaac. A lot of his older flash games, too. |
52 | * BodyHorror: A lot of his works runs on this trope. |
53 | * TheCameo: Often times characters from his other games will make crossover appearances. |
54 | * CanonWelding: Apparently, Time Fcuk and Isaac are highly related, and Steven may even be Isaac. This just complicates things more. |
55 | * CreatorThumbprint: Putting fetuses or fetus imagery in his games, as seen from the BigBad in ''Super Meat Boy'', the title character in ''Spewer'', a lot of the monsters and imagery in ''The Binding of Isaac'', and pretty much the entirety of ''Coil''. |
56 | * MindScrew: The amount varies depending on the game, but just ''try'' to piece together what The Binding of Isaac's plot ''really'' is. Coil and Time Fcuk are other major examples. |
57 | * NightmareFetishist: Apparently since he was a kid, if his biographical comic "Thicker Than Water" is anything to go by. |
58 | * SurrealHorror: Some of his games, but ''especially'' his trailers, done by James Id. |
59 | * ToiletHumour: A recurring motif ever since his first games and animations. |
