* BlindIdiotTranslation: The game is full of awkward sentences like "Your challenge is failing" after the player fails a level, or the girl the player meets during the nighttime school levels describing the [[spoiler: ghosts]] as "funny".



* LifeMeter: All 3 helicopters start off with 5 hit points and they will break once they lose all of them. The player can buy body upgrades, upping the hit points to 11.

to:

* CriticalAnnoyance: The battery meter and/or the HP bar will quickly flash red and white if either of them get too low.
* CriticalExistenceFailure: Helicopters will control just fine until they take their final hit, where they will immediately break down and the player will have to retry the level.

* BottomlessFuelTanks: Averted. Copters operate on batteries, which gradually drain over time until they're depleted, at which point the player will fail the level. On top of that, the player is forced to pay for any battery depletion that happened during the level.

* CollisionDamage: Hitting most objects with rotors of a copter will damage it.

* BottomlessMagazines: [[AvertedTrope Averted]] with the water gun, which drains the batteries of the helicopter.
* CripplingOverspecialization: The Sky Fox is the most mobile of the three copters... too mobile. It's extremely easy to lose control of and damage from hitting objects.
* LifeMeter: All 3 helicopters start off with 5 hit points and they will break once they lose all of them. The player can buy body upgrades, upping the hit points to 11.



* RammingAlwaysWorks: Downplayed. Players can pop the balloons in Mountain with their rotor blades, although it's more practical to shoot them with the water gun.



* RuleOfThree:
** The 3 copters are the Sky Cat, which has average handling, the Sky Bear, which is slow but easy to control, and the Sky Fox, which is fast but hard to control.
** The final three missions in the main game have the player take pictures of [[spoiler: ghosts]] at nighttime at school.



* TimedMission: Exaggerated.
9 out of the 12 missions are timed in that the player’s helicopter has a limited battery life. This can be extended for each helicopter by buying longer-lasting batteries.

Added DiffLines:

* NoNameGiven: [[ExaggeratedTrope Exaggerated]]. Out of the 13 characters in the game, including the player character and their parents (who speak but aren’t shown), only Mark and Beakly are named (even then, it’s unclear if Beakly is the name of the woman or her shop… or both).
