In a few levels, there are enemies that can steal health by grabbing the energy bars from the health meter directly, as opposed to attacking the player character. According to the game manual, these enemies are 'Vaders, "survivors of the original invaders", the Space Invaders.

Level 6, called "The Karnath's Lair", is named after a Commodore 64 game from Ultimate called "The Staff of Karnath". The company Ultimate was later renamed to Rare.
