* SurpriseDifficulty: It's a colorful, cute, non-violent game about an adorable furball. It also requires some ''seriously'' heavy thinking.

!!The game features the following tropes:
* CartoonBomb: The in-game bombs.
* EverythingTryingToKillYou: Invoked by the title screen, which shows deadly lasers, bombs, wrenches, [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking carrots]] etc. all launching towards the carefree Dweep. Also counts as [[CoversAlwaysLie Title Screens Always Lie]]--half of this stuff isn't even in the game, and most of the rest is harmless.
* ExcusePlot: Dweep is trapped somewhere (by whom?) and has to get to his kids (and then what?)
* HarmlessFreezing: Results from stepping on the freeze plates. When unfrozen, Dweep is good as new, if quite wet.
* HaveANiceDeath: Numerous possible death messages.
-->[[WhatTheHellPlayer Stop that. This is a nonviolent game.]]\\
[[WhatTheHellPlayer Please control your psychotic tendencies.]]\\
Was that really necessary?\\
[[SarcasmMode That was really creative.]]\\
Let's just pretend that never happened.\\
[[TooDumbToLive Very brave, but none too bright.]]\\
Did you mean to do that?\\
Hasta la bye bye, Dweep.\\
Perhaps you should try a different approach.\\
Dweep's fur appears to be rather flammable.
* LightAndMirrorsPuzzle: Laser beams and mirror figure into many puzzles.
* ProtagonistTitle
* RedHerring: To make the puzzles even harder, the levels often contain "decoy" items or other features meant to lure the player onto a false train of thought.
* SurpriseDifficulty: It's a colorful, cute, non-violent game about an adorable furball. It also requires some ''seriously'' heavy thinking.
* SweepingAshes: Apart from the "sweeping" part, but Dweep turns into a blinking pile of ashes if he's hit by a laser or bomb explosion ([[VideoGameCrueltyPotential or is burned by the player with a torch]]).
* UnwinnableByDesign: There's ''no'' room for error at all. You'll restart a lot of times.
* WaddlingHead: Dweep. As far as we know, he cannot even walk, he just hops.
