Trivia / Annalynn

• Creator's Favorite: Cruise Elroy has described Annalynn as his "comfort character" and someone who holds special value to him, due to her being the first original character he had created.
• Development Gag: Annalynn's pre-2021 design (brown pants/vest, no bangs) was canonized by Cruise Elroy as the outfit she wore when she was starting out as a miner.
• No Port For You: The only console port the game got was for the Nintendo Switch, and there are currently no plans to re-release the game on any other consoles.
• What Could Have Been:
  • Annalynn was originally a guy in Cruise Elroy's early Concept Art of her (see here and here). He decided to make her a female due to wanting a protagonist that stood out more and wasn't, in his words, "generic overalled miners with headlamps or generic Indiana Jones-esque clones with headlamps".
  • The Snakes were originally molemen. According to Elroy, he felt the molemen didn't fit the simplistic arcade aesthetic well, so he changed them to snakes in the final game.
  • Originally, a spider enemy under the Venom Brood's command would have acted as a soft time limit if you took too long in a level, similarly to Gosenzo from Mappy and Baron von Blubba from Bubble Bobble. It was scrapped because Cruise Elroy felt that a time limit didn't gel with the combo-based gameplay. This character was added in the Annalynn '16 rerelease.
• Word of God: According to Cruise Elroy, Annalynn does not wear overalls like her Mario-esque design suggests, but a vest and pants combo. She also mostly wears the outfit for aesthetic reasons.
