A removed item in the game, called the Zapinator, was used by the developers in testing so they didn't have to worry about enemies. It is the strongest weapon in the game, and also resembles the Zapper, a light gun peripheral for the Nintendo Entertainment System.

The Giant Bat's ability to "confuse" players may be a reference to the Pokemon franchise, in which the Zubat is notorious for confusing the players' Pokemon. Some compare it to Golbat, the evolved form of Zubat, due to its size.

Sometimes when talking to the Wizard during the day, he may say "Someone once told me friendship is magic. That's ridiculous. You can't turn people into frogs with friendship." This is a reference to "My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic".

It's possible the NPC "Party Girl" is a reference to the character "Pinkie Pie" from the TV show, "My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic". Her hair style, color scheme, general demeanor and dialogue suggests a similarity between the two. Some of her potential names are "Trixy" and "Sparkle", possibly also referencing characters from the series.

The end-game armor set called "Stardust Armor" is possibly a reference to the manga JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, specifically the third story arc called Stardust Crusaders. The armor itself can summon a ghost-like guardian that will automatically defend the summoner at close range, akin to how the Stands from Jojo's Bizarre Adventure function.
