* The redesigned skull is much more frightening than the original was. What with its angrier expression and added fangs. Also when the skull eats the balls, it grows until its bigger than the frog, than eats it in one bite while [[EvilLaugh laughing evilly.]]

* The music when the balls are getting closer to the skull can sometimes give some players [[ParanoiaFuel anxiety and paranoia]]. It doesn’t help with the fact that when the skull eats the balls, he sucks them in and the frog spins, getting brighter and then pops.
