18	* [[GameOverMan Continue Man]]: If you run out of lives, you get a still photo of Harry being sat on by some zombies and trying to get free as the continue timer counts down.
19	* [[ExpressiveHealthBar Expressive Lives Counter]]: Normally, the number of lives you have left is shown on top of your health meter; the bar itself is a yellow and orange gradient. When you have no spare lives left, a skull and crossbones symbol appears over your health meter, which then is red with a flame-like pattern at the bottom.
20	* HealThyself: In addition to picking up food items, rescuing a captive will also give Harry full health, as will a [[OneUp 1-up icon]] (it's simply a white block with a purple 1 UP on it).
21	* HyperactiveMetabolism: Harry can pick up food items to boost his health. He can find burgers, hot dogs, fries, cookies, and soda cups; they all heal about the same amount.
22	* InfinityPlusOneSword: The missiles. It doesn't matter what difficulty you play on, they will destroy all mooks with one hit.
23	* JetPack: Harry has one, and it uses the same fuel as his flamethrower.
24	%% * KillItWithFire: The flamethrower.
25	* KungFuProofMook: There is an uncommon alien enemy, wearing what appears to be a fireproof suit that {{No Sell}}s being burned by a flamethrower, other weapons (like a Photon Cannon) is required to defeat them.
26	%% * LockedDoor: Appear in some levels and are often unlocked with a switch.
27	%% * MissionControl: Diane acts as this for Harry.
28	* PlotLock: The player must free every captive before exiting a level. In addition, the final episode, "Alien Ship," is only unlocked once you've completed all of the first three.
29	* {{Shareware}}: The Office Block episode in ''Halloween Harry'' and the Sewer episode in ''Alien Carnage'' were originally this. As of May 2007, the entire game is freeware.
30	* SmartBomb: The Omega weapon destroys all enemies on the screen with a single use.
31	* VideogameFlamethrowersSuck: Harry starts off with a flamethrower. It's not the most powerful weapon to have, and the fuel used for the flamethrower is better saved for the jetpack.
32	* VideoGameLives: The number of spare lives you have left is shown on top of your health bar; if you're on your last life of that "credit," it's a skull and crossbones symbol instead. In addition, you have two extra "credits" (continues) which give you a fresh set of two spare lives.
