** [[spoiler: Opening the Super Chest results in all the chests within East and West Hurtland opening for you just so that you don't have to go backtracking to obtain the rest of the upgrades]].
** In the PlayableEpilogue, [[spoiler: the game allows you to see what an NPC has to say before you choose them for marriage if you hadn't done so beforehand]].
* BossInMookClothing: [[spoiler: The Heartbreak, only fightable when you try and cure Frallan. They're fast, shoot bullets constantly and has the most HP out of all the ailments in the game (minus the final boss).]]

* CosmeticAward: The reward for getting HundredPercentCompletion is [[spoiler: the ability to revisit the Saturnian Palace via an Easter Egg and marry anyone there (including Remedy's own mother)]].

** [[spoiler: The end text adjusts itself appropriately should you choose to marry the Dark Lord, the Apathetic Frog or Frallan]].

* HealthMeter: An orangish one, at the bottom of the screen, decreasing from right to left, and represented by {{Hearts|AreHealth}}, which are the term for the HP.

* InvincibleMinorMinion: The Hypesnakes, appearing only in the Reallyjoel's Dad difficulty level, are a parody of this: a horde of them appear after a few seconds pushing Remedy back once they appear on screen. They have 10 million hit points (according to the game's code) and will kill Remedy in [[OneHitKO one hit]] should they come into contact with her. The Apathetic Frog can also be seen within said battles, but given that he's programmed as an indestructible block...

* SilentProtagonist: The only time you get to see Princess Remedy speak within the game is when [[spoiler: you choose to marry an empty chest during the Playable Epilogue]].

* ShoutOut: Some NPCs you encounter just before entering Hurtland are named, [[VideoGame/{{Iji}} Ron, Doc, Becker, and Plait]]

* VileVillainSaccharineShow: [[spoiler: The ailment that affected the prince is surprisingly very dark for an otherwise light-hearted game, even trying to taunt Remedy by not only rhetorically asking if "rage, loss and sorrow" can be cured, but also by stating, "It's pain that keeps us alive. Your healing is not needed in this world!" Not to mention the Sad Battle Music that plays while you're fighting it.]]

* TheCameo: Hypesnakes originally appeared within a Flash game Daniel made in the past. They are the {{Title Character}}s of said game.

* CosmeticAward: The reword for getting HundredPercentCompletion is [[spoiler: the ability to revisit the Saturnian Palace via an Easter Egg and marry anyone there (including Remedy's own mother)]].

* LoveHurts: [[spoiler:Poor Frallan. He got dumped by Remedy during high school and still angsts over that fact by the time you reach her. You have to cure her by destroying "Heartbreaks", the toughest non-boss enemy in the game.]]

* VileVillainSaccharineShow: [[spoiler: The ailment that affected the prince is surprisingly very dark for an otherwise light-hearted game, even trying to taunt Remedy by not only asking if "rage, loss and sorrow" can be cured, but also by stating, "It's pain that keeps us alive.

* BossInMookClothing: [[spoiler: The Heartbreak, only fightable when you try to cure Frallan. They're quite fast, constantly shoots bullets and has the most HP out of all the ailments in the game (minus the final boss).]]

* CosmeticAward: The reword for getting HundredPercentCompletion is [[spoiler: the ability to revisit the Saturnian Palace via an Easter Egg and marry anyone there (including Remedy's own mother!)]].

* DummiedOut: Each and every single character has a pose for when they're sick in spite of the fact that several of the characters start out fine.

* GayOption: The player has the option to [[spoiler:pursue any NPC in the game as a marriage partner, regardless of gender or even species.]]

* GuideDangIt: [[spoiler: The existence of the "Super Chest" that allows one to obtain both the Disk One Nuke and the Infinity Plus One Sword. You can only open it if you had opened exactly 0 chests beforehand, however. Otherwise, it turns into the Jealous Chest and literally refuses to open for you]].
* HeKnowsAboutTimedHits: Several [=NPCs=] within the game, most of them within the Saturnian Palace but also at least one within Hurtland proper, explain the controls for the game. Lampshaded if you [[spoiler:marry one of them - he specifically calls himself the "tutorial guy" when he remarks about his marriage]].

* InvincibleMinorMinion: The Hypesnakes, appearing only in the Reallyjoel's Dad difficulty level, are a parody of this, a horde of them appearing after a few seconds within healing mode, pushing Remedy back once they appear on screen, having literally 10 million hit points according to the game's code) and killing Remedy in 1 hit should they come into contact with her. The Apathetic Frog can also be seen within said battles, but given that he's programmed into them as an indestructible block...

* LikeParentLikeSpouse: [[spoiler: It's possible to invoke this by choosing Queen Amelia, Princess Remedy's mother, as the one your character would marry (much to Queen Amelia's bewilderment). It's only possible to do this once you received 100% Completion and discovered how to get back to the Saturnian Palace using an Easter Egg]].

* {{Retraux}}: The graphics are highly reminiscent of that of the UsefulNotes/ZXSpectrum[[note]]Although WordOfGod states that the graphics artist wasn't aiming for a specific system[[/note]] and even mimics its limitations to some extent. The music sound effects and the music, however, are reminiscent of the [[UsefulNotes/NintendoEntertainmentSystem NES]].
* SadBattleMusic: [[spoiler: The final boss is accompanied by this in order to help show how vile it is compared to the rest of the game.]]
* SaveThePrincess: An interesting variation, as Remedy is the princess but is on a mission to save a prince from a major illness.

* SilentProtagonist: The only time in the entire game you get to see Princess Remedy speak is when [[spoiler: you choose to marry an empty chest during the Playable Epilogue]].
* TakeAThirdOption: It's possible to invoke this by [[spoiler: choosing to marry an empty chest within the Playable Epilogue. Doing so allow you to see Remedy's one line in the entire game.]]
* UnwinnableJokeGame: Like all of Remar's games since ''VideoGame/{{Iji}}'', this game has a "[[MemeticBadass Reallyjoel's Dad]]" difficulty level unlocked by holding right on the difficulty select screen for five seconds. It becomes pretty obvious that it's this trope once you noticed the fact that the first Heart gate now requires an infinite amount of Hearts in order to unlock, but that's not the only thing that makes this difficulty level unique... (This is lampshaded by, among a few other [=NPCs=] within this mode, Queen Amelia[[note]]The one who sent Remedy to Hurt Land[[/note]] by them directly stating that this mode's impossible for her to complete to complete and that you should've picked an "easier difficulty").
* VisibleSilence: The only dialogue ever given by the Apathetic Frog.

* TheDevTeamThinksOfEverything:
** Every NPC in the game has unique dialogue following [[spoiler:their marriage to the player, should the player choose them as a spouse. Though with the Apathetic Frog this is simply VisibleSilence]].

* InstantIceJustAddCold: One of the sick Valkyries within the Crystal Palace is portrayed as being incased in ice. Try and heal her, and she'll state that she "[[{{Pun}} appears to have a cold]]".

* InstantIceJustAddCold: One of the sick Valkyries within the Crystal Palace is portrayed as being incased in ice. Try and heal him, and she'll state that she "[[{{Pun}} appears to have a cold]]".

* AllThereInTheScript: The names of all the ailments in the game, including the one exclusive to the Reallyjoel's Dad difficulty level, are given out within the game's source code.
* BonsaiForest: Hard to avoid in a minimalist pixel game.

* {{Retraux}}: The graphics are highly reminiscent of that of the UsefulNotes/ZXSpectrum and even mimics its limitations to some extent. The music sound effects and the music, however, are reminiscent of the [[UsefulNotes/NintendoEntertainmentSystem NES]].
