* LocationTitle: ''Castle of Dragon''. You're in a castle, to slay an evil dragon...

* SpikesOfDoom: The castle dungeons is filled with spiked pits, and platforms with spiked edges that damages or kills you if you miss a jump. There's also spiked slabs on chains descendign from ceilings.
* SwordBeam: If you're armed with a sword. It can already release ranged projectiles by default with each swing, and there are upgrades allowing your sword to fill the immediate area before you with electricity!

* WhenTreesAttack: There are tree-men enemies lumbering around on their roots, who can attack you either with their branches or create MiniMook tree-people. Killing one regular-sized tree-man turns it into [[AsteroidsMonster three tiny ones]].
