* MemeticMutation: The game often gets treated as a BrownNote of a game that can kill people who play it, due to its seizure-inducing graphics.
* NightmareFuel: Where to even start? After each level, you receive messages like ''Beware Behave'', and Get Up Get Down. The graphics make the game's levels look like [[EldritchLocation Eldritch Locations]], the sound effect when picking up an item, getting damaged, and dying are a disturbing moan, a high-pitched demonic screech, and [[LaughingMad maniacal laughter]] respectively. The enemies and bosses look like awkwardly moving [[EldritchAbomination Eldritch Abominations]], and the game ends with [[spoiler: A still image of a clown staring at you.. [[JumpScare and then laughing at you like a maniac]]]].
* NintendoHard: You can only take 5 hits before dying, and if you die, you have to start over from the beginning of the entire game, with no way to earn extra lives.

** Of note is the opening song, which is extremely off-key, contains weird vocals, and sounds like something you'd hear in a weird dream. It also sets [[QuirkyWork the tone]] for the rest of the game.

* {{Anvilicious}}: The game's manual isn't at all subtle about its [[AnAesop Aesop]]; The environment is in danger, and we need to stop people from destroying it. That said, the game itself is the exact opposite, with very few hints towards its aesop.
