* TeleportersAndTransporters: Using planks of wood, Blupis can build teleporters, a 2x2 floor which are [[PaletteSwap the blue version]] of incubators. At least two teleporters should be built in order for them to work.

* ChainReactionDestruction: You can invoke this by setting off an explosion near several dynamites adjacent to each other. Pretty useful to destroy multiple objects and enemies in a shorter time.

* UnwinnableByMistake: Trust me, your own mistakes can lead you to getting stuck in a mission (especially if you've saved often in the middle of such mistakes), if it decided to not outright end the mission by failure, that is.

* {{Cephalothorax}}: The Blupis.

* VideoGameSettings: There are four kinds in this game, though the differences are merely cosmetic:
** GreenHillZone: The prairie and forest sceneries.
** ShiftingSandLand: The desert scenery.
** SlippySlideyIceWorld: The snowy forest scenery.

* AWinnerIsYou: Finishing all missions, tutorial or main campaign, simply gives you a "victory" screen.

* SandboxMode: The LevelEditor pretty much allows you to enjoy this (unless you decided to kill off all the Blupis or destroy all the houses, that is).

* ArmorOfInvincibility: A Blupi wearing armor does lose energy and is completely invulnerable to viruses, bulldozers, explosions, Electrocutor's sparks and even fire (which makes no sense) and can even transport and use dynamite without killing themselves. This comes at the drawback of being unable to use a boat, use buildings, jump across gaps, or anything except pickup and drop items or detonate explosives.

* [[MagnetHands Magnet Head]]: Blupis will always hold "small" objects on their head. The items will never be dropped no matter what unless you command the Blupis to drop them.

* [[RealMenWearPink Real Men Live In Flower-Patterned Pink Houses]]: All Blupis' houses are pink with a flower pattern.

* [[FourLeggedInsect Six-Legged Spider]]: The Spiders in this game have six legs. Somewhat justified that they're created using some sort of alien technology.

* OneGenderRace: All Blupis are male according to the game. Where those eggs came from still remains a mystery...

* EleventhHourSuperpower: [[DownplayedTrope Downplayed]]. Near the endgame, the Blupis managed to gain access to enemy technology in the form of platin(i)um, which is used to build a robot on their own. The robot, aptly-named Helper Robot, can perform tasks without running out of energy (moving faster than Blupis also helps) and is invulnerable to fire, Viruses, Bulldozers and Electrocutor's sparks. However, there's only one in existence (in the main campaign, at least) and can still be easily destroyed by explosives and Bouncing Bombs. Also, it can't do things that Blupis can, like riding boats across a body of water.

''Planet Blupi'', developed by Daniel Roux and Denis Dumoulin (succeeded by Mathieu Schroeter in 2017) is an isometric RealTimeStrategy PuzzleGame for Windows released in 1997 by EPSITEC.
