16	%%* CueTheSun: [[spoiler:The ending]].
17	%%* DeflectorShield
18	%%* EldritchAbomination: The Shadow Planet and its spawn.
19	* EldritchLocation: The opening cinematic seems to indicate that the Shadow Planet is something between a PlanetEater and a HordeOfAlienLocusts.
20	* EleventhHourSuperpower: The final ship upgrade is [[spoiler:a solar energy conduit capable of destroying the entire Shadow Planet. Which it does.]]
21	* EnemyScan: Anything the player can interact with can be scanned, revealing what item needs to be used on it.

25	* ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin: The title is a pretty good indicator of the game's setting.
26	* FlyingSaucer:
27	** The player's ship.
28	** All alien weaponry tropes from the 80s-90s are in full force. Your spacecraft is eventually armed with a blaster, lasers, a tractor beam, deflector shields, a manipulator claw, and missiles. The only odd one is the saw.

30	* GrapplingHookPistol: The pincher arm and tractor beam both serve this purpose at various points.
