32!! Specific tropes used by the creator in his works:
33
34* AllegedCar: The car your criminal drives in ''DERNHALD REVENG'' is very much this.
35* AMillionIsAStatistic: Deconstructed in the ''000000052573743''. In there, you play as a completely nameless, faceless person who is no different visually from others around, and the first time you see him is in two lines of people where he is completely indistinguishable from others. It is only by chance that you [[spoiler: survive being shot randomly and many others do not.]] Even then, you're still not that special, as there is at least a dozen people alongside you.
36* DamnItFeelsGoodToBeAGangster: ''DERNHALD REVENG'' only exists to deconstruct this. It's no accident that it was released a month or so before ''VideoGame/SaintsRowIV'' and ''VideoGame/GrandTheftAutoV'' , each a prominent TropeCodifier.
37* DepthPerplexion: In ''DERNHALD REVENG'', the seedy bar with criminals has an isometric top-down view and the angle is such that the ceiling fan and the flies circling it are much larger than everything else and take up a good chunk of the screen.
38* ExcusePlot: His more straightforward games like ''Fear Chooknz'', ''Bear Surfing Mega Wave'' or ''Chook Driver Extreme'' generally have these.
39* ExtremeMeleeRevenge: In ''DERNHALD REVENG'', your protagonist seeks revenge for some unnamed slight. His response? Cut the guy's nose off.
40* FunetikAksent: ''Splodem Down V2'' and other examples above.
41* NoEnding: Many of his games have ending screens that barely end anything or which are only vaguely connected to what has just happened.
42* RandomEventsPlot: All of his more unusual games that don't already have ExcusePlot.
43* ShownTheirWork: His games often feature some sort of mechanic or animation that is not necessary to the gameplay but helps with the atmosphere and immersion. The bush physics in ''Gunner'', the permanent bullet holes in all walls in the ''Nuign Specter'', etc.
44* ShrugOfGod: Usually his reaction to the questions about his game’s plots.
45* StylisticSuck: He freely admits that for many of his games he could have had added more mechanics or drawn in more detailed style, but he felt the message was served well enough as it was.
46* ThatOneBoss: Usually, his games aren’t too hard, but the boss chook in the Fear Chooknz is practically guaranteed to roll you over with its grenades, again and again.
47* TrollingCreator: Very often, with especially delicious example given here, on the Gunner’s Gamejolt page. [[BlatantLies Bloody Cartoon Violence, Sexual References, Drug Use]] … Family Friendly!
48* WordSaladTitle: Just look up for some examples. Duck Funnel, Duck Turnip, Fear Chooks, etc.
