The "Good guys"

The Pixel Gun/Newbie

You.

• Action Survivor: He presumably started as this.
• All There in the Manual: His real name is... Newbie.
• Anti-Hero: Pragmatic. Thinks of shooting an innocent girl for unleashing hell on his world. He doesn't. As of World 3, Nominal as he shows no qualms about murdering the army.
• Badass Normal: Has no superpowers, just a load of guns,
  • Empowered Badass Normal: With the capes and boots, he gains powers to generate shields (Formerly health, but nerfed), double jump, and do other awesome things. Also great with the guns, to extents, where he could be called this anyways.
• Cold Sniper: Once he gets the sniper rifle, he starts acting like this.
• Shotguns Are Just Better: Begins the game with a shotgun and a machine gun. The shotgun can either spray its shot to kill a large number of enemies, or just shoot one, dealing quite a bit of damage, later upgrades to the Double Trouble, which is the same thing, but more shot, and less ammo. He also seems to think this, as he either has the starter gun or the Double Trouble in his hand,
• Ship Tease: With Apocalypse Girl. She asks if she looks good in a space suit. He just smiles.
• One-Man Army: Deconstructed. He fights a whole lot of enemies, and wins singlehandedly, but it seems to be taking a toll on his sanity.
• Comic-Book Movies Don't Use Codenames: Averted. He briefly uses Pixel Gun, the name of his 9mm. He doesn't stick with it though, and it's only on the App Store he gets called this.
• The Quiet One: Only speaks at most three times in World 1. You read his thoughts due to the cutscene's comic format though. Until world 3.
• Revenge: His motive against the big bad, The Dragon.
• Revolvers Are Just Better: Can earn one in one of the later levels, and it deals a crapload of damage. If you look closely in all the levels after you get it, it's in his holster.
• Villain Protagonist: Well, the army certainly should have attacked him on sight.

Apocalypse Girl

• Big Good: Briefly.
• Faux Action Girl: She looked like she was going to grab a gun and help the player. Instead, she simply watches him fight, and does nothing at all to aid him.
• The Atoner: Claims to be this. Too bad she never gets in on the action.

The Dragon

• Heel–Face Turn: In the last seconds, he vows to atone for his actions by taking the player to the real world.
• Big Bad: Turns out to be this. Subverted, he's a Disc-One Final Boss.
• Expy: Of the Ender Dragon.
• Big Good: Becomes this after Newbie defeats him.
• Affably Evil: Why he's on the heroes list.

The Creator

• The Atoner: But of course! He did Make the bug!
• Ambiguously Evil: He is a god in everying but name. This applies, as he made the world.
• Affably Evil: If he is evil, he is DEFINITELY THIS.
• Big Good: Oh, so much, but the hints are around.

The Army

• Armies Are Useless: So averted. They use all kinds of weapons, and WILL kill you.
  • Armies Are Evil: Subverted. They think you are an alien. YOU are the bad guy to them.
• Hero Antagonist: Yes, such a shame they are Just another obstacle for Newbie.
• Poor Communication Kills: Literally.

The Villains

Zombies

• Night of the Living Mooks
• Plague Zombie: Very creepy. They infect any survivors. It's implied they infected Newbie which is how he is so utterly badass.

The Ghosts

• Hollywood Voodoo: Some. Likely summoned by the Wizard.
• Night of the Living Mooks

Slender Man

• Affably Evil: As per usual, although he never says a word, he gives off this vibe.
  • Faux Affably Evil: But he's not going to let you walk through his woods.
• Adaptational Wimp: On some counts. He's vulnerable to your weapons, and has mooks in his image, presumably the Cult of Slender.
• Badass in a Nice Suit: Although he has a little malfunction.
• Body Horror: His legs are gone. His intestines have turned into spider-esque legs. Ewww...

The Bug

• Affably Evil: Like most of these.
  • Faux Affably Evil: Also Nightmare Fuel like most examples.
• Author's Saving Throw: Also a walking one. He justifies why it's so game-esque... because it is.
• Big Bad: Oh, hell yes.
• Badass: Definitely.
• Expy: Acts a lot like Oogie Boogie.
• Walking Spoiler

The Wizard

• Affably Evil
• Beard of Evil: Even lampshaded by the Pixel Gun.
• I'm a Humanitarian

The Aliens
