PyFHBG 0.01 was released
to the public on June 5, 2013.
Tropes:
- Airborne Mook: Spinner and Burger.
- Angry Guard Dog: While the good guys were away, the Sneakers got bored. They acted on their built-in Big Brother Instinct and became protective of the vermin.
- Armless Biped: Plodder and Sneaker.
- Ascended Glitch: Hanging onto walls and jumping. The NES version allowed it all the time due to a collision bug; the Python version makes the edge grab hitbox explicit and doesn't allow edge grabbing when the player's hands are full.
- Back Stab: Attacking a Sneaker from behind causes it not to crouch into its shell.
- Collision Damage
- Deliberately Monochrome: The backgrounds of the game are done in white and grey, whereas the protagonist and the enemies are in red.
- Excuse Plot: While the good guys were away, the facility became infested by vermin. Knock them out.
- Face–Heel Turn: Sneakers got bored.
- The Goomba: Plodder, a common enemy in early levels.
- Goomba Springboard: Touching a stunned enemy propels the player up.
- Heavily Armored Mook: Sneakers often crouch into their shells when threatened.
- Jump Physics: Can change direction in mid-air. Arms are not useless; if not holding a block, the player can hang on a ledge and hop up.
- Level Editor
- Life Meter: The player can sustain
- Lightning Bruiser: Sneaker and Burger are faster than the player.
- Mecha-Mooks: Sneaker and Spinner
- Multi-Mook Melee: Most rooms have the objective of defeating all enemies.
- No Body Left Behind: Destroyed enemies disappear into four little clouds of smoke.
- Platform Game
- Rat Stomp: The player controls an exterminator called in to purge the vermin from the facility.
- Shout-Out:
- Toasters and cheeseburgers allude to YouTube Poop memes such as "Dinner Blaster".
- Sneakers are based on an enemy from Fast Eddie for Atari 2600.
- Peckers are vaguely inspired by The Great Giana Sisters.
- Subsystem Damage: Sneakers that have absorbed one hit can no longer crouch.
- Suicide Attack: Sneakers dash at the player after absorbing a hit. If on level ground, this catches players off guard.
- Surveillance Drone: The Sneakers started out as these.
- Video Game Remake: This is an expanded remake of a game made for an NES game development contest.
- Waddling Head: Plodder.
- Wrap Around: Vertically, like in Bubble Bobble.
- Zerg Rush: In "dinner blaster", just as the player has started to take care of two Sneakers, a load of Burgers fly in from the sides.
