* GuideDangIt: Nothing in the game hints that picking a higher speed for your shape makes your hitbox larger. Thankfully this is explained in the ''[=M2STG=]'' port's manual.

It is Space Year ○●◎○[[note]]yes, that's what it says in the manual[[/note]]. Admiral Gratze of the planet Melt was assigned to conquer the Earth, when he comes across an interesting little planet, Fever. Space pilots are highly discouraged from flying near Fever, as the planet is known for electromagnetic waves that can disrupt nearby spacecraft. Gratze, thinking that to be just a little superstition, decided to try to make a little pit stop on this planet, but sure enough, his flagship's sytems were disrupted, angering him when the damage disrupted a very steamy phone call with his wife Aileen.

''Dangun Feveron'' is a 1998 VerticalScrollingShooter by Creator/{{Cave}}.

* {{Retraux}}: The art style is a throwback to older {{Shoot Em Up}}s such as VideoGame/ArmoredScrumObject.

A UsefulNotes/PlayStation4 port by M2 was released as part of the ''M2 [=ShotTriggers=]'' seriess of ports in 2017 in Japan and 2018 in North America.

* ArrangeMode: M2's UpdatedRerelease has the Fever arrange, which implements a "safety line" feature. Staying under this safety line will tick up cyborg value by 1 every half second, all cyborgs are auto-collected, and auto-bomb is enabled as well. To disable the safety line (but NOT its effects), stay under the safety line for the first half of stage 1, and gather 140 cyborgs before the mid-point of stage 1. Once this is done, bullet speed and quantity increase, but the effects of the "Safety line" are applied to the entire screen, bombs turn all bullets and destroyed enemies into cyborgs, a radius of attraction collects all cyborgs near your ship, and cyborgs value is doubled.

''Dangun Feveron'' is a 1998 VerticalScrollingShooter by {{Cave}}.

* EverythingsFunkierWithDisco: One of the distinguishing traits of the game, the other being that it uses [[NintendoHard the]] {{Cave}} BulletHell ShootEmUp gameplay with an old-school visual style.

* SuspiciouslySimilarSong: The theme of the first level is an obvious ripoff of Staying Alive.

* GoodBadBugs: In certain emulators, a glitch involving resetting the game allows you to initialize all high scores to zero. Perfect if you keep track of your scores, because the lowest default high score of 1.2 million can take weeks of practice to attain.

* ScrappyMechanic: This game never shows your total score during gameplay; it's only shown at the end of each stage, as well as after getting a high score and ending your game, which wouldn't be as big of a problem if the lowest default high score wasn't difficult to obtain for new players. This caused a huge problem at a recent shmup tournament where many players who couldn't get on the high score table either manually calculated their scores by hand or [[RageQuit simply didn't bother to submit scores]].
