* AdamSmithHatesYourGuts: Dut sells extra credits inbetween caverns in exchange for points. The more credits the player(s) has remaining, the more expensive credits become.
* AntiFrustrationFeatures: The Steam version creates a savestate at the start of each attempt at a level. If the player(s) closes the game during gameplay, they will be asked by Dut if they would like to continue from where they left off, which is very useful for players who don't want to play all the way through in a single sitting. The Atari 7800 version doesn't have this luxury.


Added DiffLines:

* NintendoHard: The game features many deviously-designed puzzles, and credits are a precious resource that can only be purchased with points from Dut at fluctuating prices each visit. Good co-ordination between both players is especially important when playing co-op.
* NoFairCheating: The Steam version generates a savestate right when a player dies, and will resume from that player's death animation when the game is restarted. This is to prevent players from [[SaveScumming abusing the savestate system]] to avoid losing precious credits.
