Tropes[]
- Expressive Oxygen Meter: Carlos has five (nine in the Dynasty remake) different expressions to determine how much oxygen Carlos has left, Lizzie has four depending in how short the non-black segment of her meter is, if Carlos' head on the top left begins drooping, the alarming theme that is suspiciously similar to Sonic The Hedgehog's drowning music plays, complete with a countdown in the intervals of two seconds counting down from five to zero.
- One-Hit Point Wonder: Unless you have a bubble surrounding you, where in which case, you are a two-hit point wonder.
- Oxygen Meter: both Carlos and Lizzie has one, Lizzie's oxygen meter is a bar that gradually drains, while Jack's oxygen meter is an expressive one, for more details about Carlos's use of this trope, see Expressive Health Meter.
- Single-Use Shield: the bubble.
- Songs In The Key of Panic: If Carlos has emptied his oxygen meter, he doesn't die instantly, instead a Sonic-esque drowning music plays, complete from a countdown from 5 to 0 in the intervals of two seconds, unfortunately, Lizzie lacks the luxary, fortunately, you can spam giving her breath, that costs nothing.
