* ColourCodedForYourConvenience: Drones and citizens of the computer are colored yellow, while the infected variants, along with the virus itself, are purple. This also extends to the scan function, which highlights enemies with a red-colored reticle. Additionally, Doors which are ForceFields are colored either Red (no entry) or Green (pass through), which extends to door locks. Keys ("Permissions") are glowing keys colored a light blue, with Ammo and Health being Light Blue and Green respectively. The weapons the player uses throughout the game on the other hand, have different colors to differentiate them.

!!The game ''Retrovirus'' provides examples of:

* AttackItsWeakPoint: While most enemies are straight-forward, one has a hardened shell in the front, so you must attack it from behind for [[Massive Damage]]
* BoringButPractical: Your first 'weapon' fires off regularly times shots (per mouse click) and while you get other weapons as the game progresses, the first gun never stops being useful.
* ColourCodedForYourConvenience: Drones and citizens of the computer are colored yellow, while the infected variants, along with the virus itself, are purple. This also extends to the scan function, which highlights enemies with a red-colored reticle.
* DeathIsCheap: Anytime you get killed, you continue from the last "Restore Point", which is a fancy way of saying your last save.
* ConvectionSchmonvection: Averted in one level where you must use a train to get past Deletion Pits, which will kill you from the intense heat several feet away from the actual pits.
* GameMod: You can load game mods directly from the main menu.

* MookMaker: In certain infected areas, stationary Eggs can produce new mooks unless you take them out.

* VideoGameCrueltyPotential: The citizens and other small autonomous bots can die if you shoot them enough once freed from the virus's corruption.
* TheVirus: A computer worm which arrived in an email has wrecked havok on your system, and its up to you and a few allies to eliminate it, and find out how it got there in the first place.
