12!!''bit Dungeon'' provides examples of:
13
14* ChargedAttack: By holding down the attack button for long enough and having enough mana in reserves, the hero can do a SpinAttack which not only increases his attack speed drastically but also dramatically raises his critical hit chances.
15* ColorCodedForYourConvenience: The treasure chests are color-coded to indicate their rarity and relative power rating.
16* CriticalExistenceFailure: Played straight like many others in this genre. However, there is ''no'' (indicator other than your health bar) when you are low on health.
17* ElementalPowers: At the end of some dungeon levels, you have the choice of obtaining a magic spell or replacing the one you already have with a new one. These can be used by charging up your attack to max, and have differing effects.
18** AnIcePerson: The ice spell.
19** PlayingWithFire: The fire spell.
20** PoisonousPerson: The poison spell.
21** ShockAndAwe: The lightning spell.
22* EndlessGame
23* ExcusePlot: The one outlined in the above description is the reason why you are delving into these dungeons in the first place.
24* FinalDeathMode: If the hero dies anywhere in the dungeon, you must restart the game again from dungeon level 1 [[spoiler:unless you are able to meet the ghost girl, who will provide you with an extra life. Note that these can be stacked]].
25* HealingPotion: Health potions restore a ton of the hero's health in one go. However, the trade-off is that you cannot store any potion for future use, meaning that health management is extra crucial in this game. These are rarely dropped by the common {{mooks}}. semi-commonly by the wraiths, and commonly by the spirits.
26* ManaPotion: Mana potions restore a lot of the hero's mana at the cost of not being able to store some for later. Like with health potions, they are rarely dropped by the common {{mooks}}. semi-commonly by the wraiths, and commonly by the spirits.
27* RandomDrop: Played straight but expected considering the genre.
28* {{Retraux}}
29* WeaponBasedCharacterization: The hero can choose from a variety of weapon types, with their own unique relative stat distributions.
30** Axes have a high damage stat, low critical rating, and slow attack speed.
31** Spears and similiar polearms have a low damage stat, high critical rating, and fast attack speed.
32** Knives have a very low damage stat, very high critical rating, and very high attack speed.
33** Hammers have a very high damage stat, very low critical rating, and very slow attack speed.
34** Swords have an average damage stat, critical rating, and attack speed - making them the most balanced weapons in the game.
