!!'''This game provide examples of:'''

* ThreateningShark: Inverted, they're the most common and least menacing enemy, as they don't even fire at you.

* NewGamePlus: Once you defeat the FinalBoss, you go back to directly to the third stage albeit with a longer boss timer marking the time until you fight the FinalBoss once more. This cycle repeats ad infinitum until you perish.

* BulletHell: Used by the final boss' final form. SpreadShot attacks everywhere, plus "walls" of bullets being fired at you. It's not a fun experience once it gets to 1/3 of its health and ALL its bullets go super-speed.
* DegradedBoss: The first boss (the pirate ship with three flags), comes back in the third stage (after the FinalBoss is beaten) as a relatively common enemy. Though, it doesn't fire as often and in bulk like the original.

* IncendiaryExponent the Thunder catches fire after you kill it the first time.

* NoDamageRun: You get an achievement for beating a boss without taking damage. This thankfully and understandably doesn't include the FinalBoss' [[BulletHell second form]] (you only need to beat the first form without getting hit).

* SequentialBoss: The FinalBoss. After destroying the ghost ship the first time, it becomes the Thunder which outputs lots of BulletHell.
* SpreadShot: The ship's cannon's cannonballs, have this trait following the second power level (excluding the third). The GiantMook enemy ships also use a spread of three, the Submarine boss uses a spread of three which becomes a spread of five when it TurnsRed, and the final boss constantly uses a spread of at least 7.

* ThreateningShark: Inverted, they're the most common and least menacing enemy.

* BulletHell: Used by the final boss' final form.

* DegradedBoss: The first boss (the pirate ship with three flags), comes back in the third stage as a relatively common enemy. Though, it doesn't fire as often and in bulk like the original.

* SpreadShot: The ship's cannon's cannonballs, have this trait following the second power level (excluding the third).

* TacticalSuicideBoss: If the submarine didn't remove every now and then those green orbs circling it, it would be almost completely invulnerable. Oh, and there's also the fact that it ''never goes underwater''. However, if your cannons are sufficiently upgraded you can shoot the orbs before they move out.

* SuspiciouslySimilarSong: Certain segments of the background music sound somewhat similar and have a similar tempo to that of ''[[PiratesOfTheCaribbean He's A Pirate]]''.

* InstantPlunderJustAddPirates: Most of the enemies you face, all the bosses, and also probably ''yourself''.

* {{AFGNCAAP}}: The only thing you see that identifies you is your ship. Nothing more, nothing less.

* MenacingShark: Inverted, they're the most common and least menacing enemy.

* TacticalSuicideBoss: If the submarine didn't remove every now and then those green orbs circling it, it would be almost completely invulnerable. Oh, and there's also the fact that it ''never goes underwater''.

* EverythingsEvenWorseWithSharks: Inverted, they're the most common and easiest enemy.
