* AntiClimaxBoss: After much buildup, the final fight with [[spoiler: Pecand]] ends rather quickly and is easy to figure out. What's more, [[spoiler: it's Lycentia, not Torin, who ultimately stops him for good.]]
* BigLippedAlligatorMoment: Franchise/IndianaJones swinging into a lava chamber, with a tidbit of the iconic theme... Before falling in, and dying. This is never explained, acknowledged, or brought up again.
* BizarroEpisode: Chapter Four, Asthenia, takes place entirely in an abandoned, gloomy, lava-filled cavern and is the only world to feature no other characters to talk to. It's a striking contrast to the zany creatures and lush scenery of the other worlds.
* BreatherLevel: Chapter Three is relatively short, features only one way to die, and just a couple of serious puzzles. However, see ThatOnePuzzle below.
* NightmareFuel: Asthenia. All of it.
** The first half of the prologue. Pecand casts a spell that manifests as ghostly venomous snakes, which murder the King and Queen and would have also killed their infant son had he not been outside with his caretaker; she begins walking back inside, sees the snakes encircling the prince's empty bed, and flees with him into the stormy night. Later on, you learn that the two were, respectively, [[spoiler: Lycentia and Torin]].
* OlderThanTheyThink: Fans were puzzled when Al Lowe, a guy best known for making [[VideoGame/LeisureSuitLarry raunchy adventure games]], would design a family-friendly game. Al has actually worked on family-friendly games, mostly educational ones, before making ''VideoGame/LeisureSuitLarry''.
* SoOkItsAverage: Seems to be the consensus about the game. To cite one example, [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/WebVideo/PushingUpRoses PushingUpRoses]] has dubbed it [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hi2-znkMR7A/a "hidden halite"]] rather than a "hidden gem."
* StrangledByTheRedString: Torin and Leenah meet for all of five minutes and are hopelessly in love. Then, when Torin goes down to Asthenia, she heads back to Escarpa [[WhatHappenedToTheMouse and we never see her again]]. Presumably, this would have gotten fleshed out more in the sequels that never came.
* ThatOnePuzzle: Arranging the Pergolans on the star-shaped platform in Chapter Three. It especially stands out because the rest of the Chapter is LighterAndSofter.
* UnderusedGameMechanic: The gimmick of Boogle being able to shapeshift is set up to be a major part of the gameplay, but it's only used a total of six times through the whole game. Worse yet, every transformation only gets used once, even though it remains in the inventory after using it.
