Tropes used in Steamshovel Harry include:

• Auto-Tune: Used a lot in the main theme of the game.
• Deconstruction Game: To forced tutorials.
• Department of Redundancy Department:

It's got oceans for swimming!
Not acid for dying!
There's a moon
And some grass
Lots of water too
And more grass

• Forced Tutorial
• Giant Spider: They are present in this game.
• Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: The planetary anthem goes:

We'll find a cure for that Plague
We have to admit that was our mistake

• • Also, the tiresomely long tutorial takes up those 15 minutes that Steamshovel Harry was supposed to use to save Earth.
• Unwinnable Joke Game
• Wreaking Havok: According to the tutorials, throwing items affects your jump height. Also, the theme song repeatedly warns you that "Physics are gonna kill you Harry!"
