* MadBomber: Dynamite Orcs sometimes spawn in the wilderness, and attack by chasing players and tossing dynamite when they get close enough. Defeat one and it'll drop a couple dynamite pickups for you to use yourself... unless it drops ''lit'' dynamite instead, in which case you should get away as quickly as possible. Oddly, dynamite thrown by Dynamite Orcs is incapable of harming horses, but it will definitely kill ''you'' if you happen to be riding one when in range.

%%* * PinballProjectile: The ball spell.spell, which fires a glowing blue energy ball. It costs little mana and doesn't do much damage, but it bounces off anything it hits, and lasts for a good few seconds. This allows it to rack up lots of damage, especially if it gets caught bouncing between you and an enemy. Since the ball spell can't hurt the player that cast it, this is a popular way to fight monsters.

* AndYourRewardIsClothes: Arguably the real goal of the game. Nice-looking clothing requires some of the most effort to craft out of anything in the game, as difficult-to-obtain fiber and dyes are required to make nice-looking cloth, which in turn are used to make clothing.



** Launching yourself using dynamite and a shield. There aren't many places you can launch yourself to with dynamite that you can't easily enough get to using the hook. You can't hardly use it for fast travel without suffering fatal fall damage on the other side, either. Even when it does prove useful, dynamite is difficult to come by in large quantities, requiring a lot of roaming the wilderness killing Dynamite Orcs.

* ElementalCrafting: Rust, copper, zinc, lead, brass, iron, steel, gold, and plutonium can all be used to make swords, shields, and crossbows.

* MeteoricIron: On rare occasion, meteors will rain down on Port Town, leaving behind pieces of autunite when they land. Autunite is used to craft plutonium, a marbly purple metal that makes the best crossbows.

However, you'll acquire demerits and become wanted if you get naked outside of an inn room, so police players might try to arrest you. Video Game Perversity Punishment?

* BorderPatrol: An odd example, since the world ''has'' no boundaries, and the terrain repeats infinitely in all directions, but wading into water that's deep enough to swim in will spawn deadly Sea Monsters that are incredibly fast, kill you the instant they touch you, and have a ton of health. The game ''really'' does not want you going in water.



* GrievousHarmWithABody: You can kill monsters and other players by slamming into them really hard, which can be achieved by swinging with a hook. Not very practical, as this counts as [[FallingDamage fall damage]] and ''also kills you.''



* ItemCrafting: As long as you have the materials, the blacksmith in Port Town will make fabric, clothing, metal, and weapons for you. However, if it's metal or weapons you want, you must also pay a fee.

* UndergroundMonkey: Almost all the monsters are some kind of orc, usually [[PaletteSwap Palette Swapped]] and resized. Some of the more bizarre ones include Sea Monsters (NighInvulnerable black orcs that swim really fast) and bunnies (tiny red orcs that hop along, mostly ignoring players). The only monsters that aren't orcs are Meat Cubes, Blue Slimes ([[PaletteSwap Palette Swapped]] Meat Cubes), and Knights.

* AwesomeButImpractical: You can make swords out of anything from rust, to gold, to plutonium. However, no matter what materials you use, all swords are identical gameplay-wise.
* BarbieDollAnatomy: Player characters lack genitalia. [[NippleAndDimed Nipples]], however, are fully modeled, and even [[GoodBadBugs visibly clip through some clothing items]].
* ElementalCrafting: Rust, copper, zinc, lead, brass, iron, steel, gold, and plutonium can all be used to make swords, shields, and crossbows. All swords are the same, but shields have different effects depending on what they're made of (gold shields, for instance, create gold coins when struck), and crossbows shoot faster and farther the better the material used.

* MassivelyMultiplayerOnlineRolePlayingGame: Probably the one well-defined genre that this game is closest to. Badspot, however, makes it clear that it is not, as there is no leveling and there can only be 30 players at once on the game's only server.
* MoneySpider: All monsters drop something with killed, and unless it's a Sea Monster, Dynamite Orc, or an Imp, that something will be gold.
* OnlySixFaces: All player characters and human [=NPCs=] have only ''two'' faces between them.

* SoftWater: Though you still have to watch out for the ground underneath if you're falling fast enough or it's not deep enough. And if it's deep enough to break your fall, it will also probably spawn Sea Monsters...
* StuffBlowingUp: The only way to get wood from trees is by using dynamite, [[RuleOfCool for some reason]].
* VirtualPaperDoll: You can purchase or craft new clothes for your character to wear.
