* AutoRevive: One consumable obtained through either leveling up or from hitting [[ThePheonix Kiara]] (80% for this to happen) is Rebirth, which allows [=IRyS=] to revive with an extra boost and the boost charge maxed out upon reaching a GameOver condition. Consequently, this is limited to once per run.

* LuckBasedMission: The aptly titled "Gacha Mode", a standard game-mode except everybody looks like the GameOver obstacle, Bae. Whereas the standard mode has it clearly defined that Bae should be avoided, this game-mode completely up-ends the concept by having any obstacle you come across be a potential end to your run, and you'd only it when it happens.

** One of [=IRyS=]'s head cosmetic is a tofu, in reference to the UnusualEuphemism [=IRyS=] used to describe her redesign's [[FanservicePack newly defined assets.]]

* ThinkingUpPortals: Ninomae Ina'nis, upon being hit, throws [=IRyS=] upwards through a portal of her creation, with it sending her randomly flying in three different angles forward: straight ahead, slightly upwards, or slightly downwards.

** On rare occasion, the BGM will play "Gravity (Mic Check)", a rip of one of [=IRyS=]'s karaoke streams where she attempted to [[StylisticSuck half-heartedly]] sing "Gravity" before cutting it short.

* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Strawberries for Bae. If [=IRyS=] manages to collect the rarely spawning strawberry, instead of causing a GameOver (or consuming a Bae Blocker/Divorce Papers), Bae will kick [=IRyS=] into the sky forward.

* BitchSlap: Courtesy of Fauna's being associated with slapping as a SignatureMove, Fauna here slaps [=IRyS=] hard enough to send her flying forwards, serving as the equivalent to Calli in Beach mode.

* LOL69: The speed modifier unlocked for clearing 30K meters is 1.69, , and one shop upgrade that allows for two item slots cost 6969.

* ExperienceMeter: As [=IRyS=] flies to the right, the meter below fills until the next level-up, with the distance requirement getting higher, and the meter subsequently slower, with each level.

* LOL69: The speed modifier unlocked for clearing 30K meters is 1.69.

* NitroBoost: [=IRyS=] can boost up forward with her soda, with there [[ResourcesManagementGameplay being a limit to how much soda can be held/used at a time]]. Alternatively, there's the boost down function, which is passively charged when [=IRyS=]'s within a certain altitude, and is limited to a launching downwards.

* EasterEgg: On rare occasion, the BGM will play "Gravity (Mic Check)", a rip of one of [=IRyS=]'s karaoke streams where she attempted to [[StylisticSuck half-heartedly]] sing "Gravity" before cutting it short.

* ExperienceMeter: As [=IRyS=] flies to the right, the meter below fills until the next level-up, with it getting slower with each level.

The goal of the game is to deliver hope -- that is, [[Characters/HololiveEnglishProjectHope IRyS]] -- by throwing her as far as possible, making her go farther with her soda boosts, various characters that help launch her (intentionally or otherwise), while avoiding the statue of Hakos Baelz, who'll stop her run. How far can hope go?

* AbilityMixing: Introduced in V3 is the ability to combine different max level upgrades into one, resulting in another perk in addition to the benefits of prior upgrades (while also freeing up a slot).
** Double Soda plus Extra Boost Slots turns into Big Soda, causing the sodas to be replaced with a large soda can that's easier [=IRyS=] to hit and subsequently collect.

* CharacterLevel: Upon reaching certain milestones, [=IRyS=] gains a level, and with it several options: including buffing the stats of [=IRyS=], buffing obstacles that benefit [=IRyS=] (Calli's and Kronii's launch power increases, Mumei's {{Jumpscare}} effect triggering sooner, better RNG with the Monopoly, etc), and safeguards to counter any run-enders (Rat Blocker and Divorce Papers for hitting Bae, Hot Sauce and SUPER Hot Sauce for meatballs, Last Hope for slowing down without boosts, and Rebirth for hitting Bae or otherwise stopping for any reason).

* EasterEgg: On rare occasion, the BGM will play "Gravity (Mic Check)", a rip of one of [=IRyS=]'s karaoke streams where she attempted to half-heartedly sing "Gravity" before cutting it short.

* MythologyGag: Monopoly, (or rather, [[BlandNameProduct Holopoly]]) is featured in association with [=IRyS=], in reference to her using it as a SexualEuphemism for her and Bae's [=BaeRyS=] fanfiction.
