* {{Skybox}}: An interesting take. Since the world/level select screens are composed of interconnected orbs floating around a center point and selecting one orb {{zoom}}s the camera into it, the orb now serves as a background for the puzzle.

* LevelGoal: A blue tile that appears in the first couple levels of the game. Though you can't just step on it - you need to fulfill the requirements of all the other gimmicks first.

* NonindicativeName: You might expect a work explicitly named after a piece of music to be a music game, but this is not a case at all. While it does have a soundtrack, it's coldly ambient, and has no relation to any country music in its structure. The levels' names, like "Whale" or "Advanced Cutting", are also barely related to what's going on in them.

Just read the page for Level Goal, I'm stupid


* LevelGoal: Fulfilling the requirements of the different gimmicks. Here are some of them:
** "Larvae" (coloured orbs) need to be pushed into "Incubators" (transparent cubes with the same colour as the orbs). Larvae are affected by gravity relative to the way you push them.
** "Whales" are cubes with white rays coming out of their sides. You move them by going into the rays, and they need to be pushed off the level, so that none of their six rays collide with any solid block.
** "Bushes" appear on specific blocks' faces after leaving them. You need to plant a bush on every possible face.
** "Cutters" are little pins on the ground that carve a square-shaped hole into your square. In levels with these, there's a goal tile with a specific shape, which your square has to be in order to finish.

If you think I shoehorned that one in, you're probably right. I added the trope so that the page has "enough" tropes.
