Originally, the developer wanted to show the paths taken during a level and having two points light up on-screen. However, upon realizing this confused people into thinking X was a fifth level, this idea was scrapped. However, the blinking X is still in version 1.0's data.

Miscellaneous#
- The opening scroll mentions each of the people who made the music in a later version, rather than off-handedly mentioning them in a text file hidden in the game's directory.
