* DeliberatelyMonochrome: {{Downplayed|Trope}} with the Donewell armor, which renders the entire game in black and white except for the enemies, which are red.
* GreenBoyColor: One of the unlockable suits of armor is actually named "Green Boy", and it does exactly what you'd expect: it applies a green filter to the game, as an homage to the Platform/GameBoy.

* AwesomeButImpractical: The laser. It hits for an outstanding 6 damage, pierces through enemies, reaches all the way across the screen and [[RuleOfCool is a freaking laser]]. However, it also has the lowest ammo capacity of all weapons at a pitiful 20, along with the worst rate of fire, forcing you to make every shot count, and leaving you open to attack in between shots. Furthermore, unlike all other weapons, its shots don't even WrapAround the edges of the screen in the library.

Added DiffLines:
* AntiAir: The lightsword, boomerang, bubble gun, T-gun, fork gun and tornado are all designed to be able to hit enemies above the player character, whether by traveling in an arc or just flying straight up. The homing weapon can also fulfill this role due to its seeking properties, while the rubber gun's bullets bounce off walls at an angle and thus can pull this off as well, albeit less reliably than the other options.
* ArbitraryWeaponRange: Homing. If an enemy is too close, the missiles will fail to lock on it.

Added DiffLines:
* CripplingOverspecialization: The tornado. Its shots spawn right in front of the player before flying straight up, making it useless against any enemies coming from the sides unless they're already too close for comfort. Other AntiAir weapons are at least somewhat effective horizontally, but the tornado is virtually useless in that capacity.
