Per TRS, Feelies is now Trivia.


* {{Feelies}}: How does a digital distrubtion game come with real-world merchandise? The company behind the game, Zoonami, offered freebies to anyone who simply ''e-mailed the company and asked for them,'' provided they [[NoExportForYou lived in the UK.]] What were they offering? Vegetable seeds, of course! They even had cute little pictures of the characters on top.

Quite possibly the world's only [[IncrediblyLamePun First Person Groomer]], ''Bonsai Barber'' puts you in the role of a barber in a village in which most of the residents are anthropomorphic plants. Each day, five people will come in for haircuts, and you must trim, comb, and paint their foliage into all manner of strange shapes, from sailboats to fried eggs. As if that wasn't strange enough, you have to contend with sudden blackouts, swarms of bees, thunderstorms ''inside'' your shop, and other strange happenings. Normal barbers don't go through all this!

!!''Bonsai Barber'' provides examples of:

* HundredPercentCompletion: More difficult than it seems--since you have to five-star every style at least once, five-star every customer at least once, win the fete, and get all the GuideDangIt photography awards.
* AmateurPhotographer: You get awards for taking specific pictures, like getting a picture of a firefly in a blackout.
* AntiPoopSocking: You can only cut five customers per real-world day. You're free to trim Prunella the Practice Plant as often as you like, though.
* [[AnimeHair Anime Leaves]]
* BlackoutBasement: Playing at night occassionally leads to all the lights being out. You have to cut with only a flashlight available to you.
* CartoonCreature: Most of the plants are easily recognizable, except for Catnip. She's a pink, fuzzy... ''thing.'' With bright red leaves.
* CloudCuckoolander: It's a pretty good toss-up between Maizy and Catnip. Maizy, however, could be thought of as TheDitz as well.

* FunnyPlant
* FurryConfusion: While most of your customers are anthropomorphic plants, you have an ordinary potted plant on your desk. Huh.
** CarnivoreConfusion: The Cherry Twins give you a cupcake ''with a cherry on it.'' ...Uh.
* GadgeteerGenius: Strawbinski, who's also a bit of a HollywoodNerd.
* GravityScrew: Strawbinski gives you an optional device which allows you to cut people's leaves upside-down.
* GrumpyBear: Mr. Stickle, the celerey, er, stick.
* GuideDangIt: Finding the special Golden Tools, which make it literally impossible to mess up a haircut--they'll only cut/paint/regrow precisely where they need to. You're more likely to stumble into the solution by accident.
* [[InfinityPlusOneSword Infinity Plus One Scissors]]: It's possible to temporarily power up your tools into Golden Tools, which will ''always'' give you a perfect cut/painting. Of course, their totally brokenness is why it's only a temporary power-up.
* InsistentTerminology: Charlotte is a ''shallot,'' not an onion, dear. (Actually, according to the Bumper Book of Barber Business, she really is just a plain old onion, but she won't hear of it.)
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Mr. Stickle claims to be a hard man to please. He's actually one of the easiest customers to five-star due to his nice, thick leaves. To his credit, he tries his ''darnedest'' to not sound sincere when he compliments you.
* PublicDomainSoundtrack: If you paint Beaky with your paintbrush, she sings snippets of famous children's songs, like "Old Macdonald" and "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star." She has one for each color.
* SingleMindedTwins: The Cherry Twins, who go so far as to have a single haircut between the two of them.
* StealthPun: Most of the characters have ordinary green leaves. Of the ones who don't, Catnip is obviously not of this garden and Charles B. Foster is all-over unique, but why does Reg Wedge--a normal carrot--have bright orange leaves? [[spoiler: He's a ''carrot top.'']]
* {{Tsundere}}: The Cherry Twins are acting like this at first.
* WhiteDwarfStarlet: Charlotte the starlet.
