* CastFromLifespan: You lose energy with every DoubleJump and when you're hit by enemies.
* DashAttack: Your main way to attack the nanobots, [[DeathFromAbove but you can only do it downwards]]. The "Super Jump" powerup allows you to do it upwards as well.
* DoubleJump: Rather, ''Infinite Jump''. This is how you progress up towards the core. But each jump will cost you energy...
** Jumping from a floor ''doesn't'' cost energy. This is something to ''not'' forget if you want to go far.
* HealItWithBlood: You regain energy by eating red blood cells.
* PoisonMushroom: Two "powerups" actually are this:
** "Low jump": Reduces your jump height.
** "Reverse control": ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin.
* PowerUp: ''Twenty'' of them! (Well, actually 18 plus two {{Poison Mushroom}}s).
* RandomlyGeneratedLevels: Except for the bosses, everything is this.
* RuleOfThree: You lose your current powerup after being hit three times.
